Miriama Grace-Smith

Miriama Grace-Smith works in collaboration with Moana Road to create designs for her own line of sunglasses, drink bottles and bucket hats. Miriama Grace-Smith’s iwi are Ngāti Hau, Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Toa and Ngāti Porou. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts from Massey University in Wellington and has been creating art for most of her life. Her preferred mediums are painting, printmaking, illustration and fashion design. Much of her work is inspired by street art, fashion, her life, whakapapa (heritage) and pūrākau (Māori mythology). On most days she works from her studio at Toi Pōneke in Wellington. If she isn’t at the studio she is most likely out and about painting murals or teaching art to tamariki with her whānau at her Marae, Hongoeka Marae.
