River Jayden is a Painter, Graphic Designer and a recent graduate of Bachelor of Arts at University of Canterbury.

River has exhibited nationally and internationally, with recent works been exhibited in Melbourne, Manchester and Barcelona.

While her work is explosive with colour, she brings Māori culture into a contemporary context.

River is also an accredited and acessed artist with Toi Iho.

"At the heart of my work is the story of cultural appropriation, and the need to uphold, restore and promote Toi Māori ".
