TOHU WINES 20TH BIRTHDAY COLLAB

X November 2, 2018

Proud to announce this divine collab ticking away in the background this year.

Such a superb company to have worked with, it’s really something special to be creating artwork for the very first Māori owned wine brand in the world! This limited edition rosé is to celebrate Tohu Wines 20th birthday celebrations.

I got to go to the Awatere Valley as part of my research. It was a real honour to be there as part of my process and to take all the beauty in and meet the artisans behind the brand.

The brief I was given included the native rewarewa plant and the korimako, our native New Zealand bellbird. This work is to celebrate their 20th year and it is a real privilege to be a part of this collaboration as it is it’s a really special time for them.

Big thank you to the Tohu team, Melanie in particular, you’re a star!

My Story

As an aerosol and stencil artist with a fine art degree, Flox has been making her mark on the inner cityscape of Auckland since 2003.

Her trademark native birds, ferns and flowers are a celebration of Aotearoa’s environmental taonga. Using distinctly vibrant and confident colour on a scale combined with delicacy they have magically transformed grey walls into vibrant depictions of the natural world.

Flox swiftly expanded her practice into prints, publications, murals, graphic design, live painting, projects and workshops for both schools and the wider public. She has been involved in numerous collaborations, charity work and both group and solo exhibitions.

Her accessible narratives have broadened the appeal and shaped her into one of New Zealand’s most recognised contemporary artists.

In recent years Flox has focused on refining new ideas, exploring other cultures and pushing her own artistic boundaries. This resulted in a three-month Artist Residency in Taiwan and a journey to Udaipur in India, to expand her international audiences.

Seen everywhere from Berlin, Hong Kong, New York, Taiwan, India and the US, Flox continues spreading her wings and making her presence felt across public spaces and homes worldwide.
