Meet Ana Lucia Mendina, a fine artist whose deep connection to nature and indigenous cultures inspires her beautiful and meaningful artwork.
Born in the Amazon and raised in the south of Brazil, Ana's journey has taken her to New Zealand, where she gained respect for Maori traditions and received a Taonga that honours her connection to the Yanomami people.
Today, Ana is a proud mother to a little girl named Moana, reflecting the deep impact of motherhood on her artistic perspective.
