Keri Whaitiri

Designer and Artist

Keri Whaitiri (PaeToi) is a designer and artist who works predominantly with mana whenua entities to bring forward their kōrero, perspectives and presence in public realm design.

She has worked on projects throughout Te Waipounamu (South Island) under the guidance of cultural experts and often in collaboration with other Ngāi Tahu artists and creatives.

Art Fetiche have led the fabrication process on a number of these installations. They provide an unbeatable combination of skills, expertise and can-do attitude in the face of sometimes challenging parameters. Their workmanship and dedication to high quality outcomes has resulted in exceptional pieces that are community assets for years to come.
