Maker of the Month: Carl van Wijk

Our DEPOT Shop | Toi Toa Maker of the Month for January 2026 is Carl van Wijk.

Every month we’ll be featuring one of our artists and their works available in our gallery shop, so be sure to stop by and view the collection!

Carl van Wijk is a New Zealand-born artist, now based in Japan, with a deep passion for the unique bird life of his homeland. His striking bird portraits capture the essence of their beauty and vibrant personalities, commanding the entire canvas.

His distinctive style brings each bird to life, in a celebration of their colours and unique character. Through his work, Carl invites viewers to see these remarkable creatures not only as a part of the natural world, but also as bold, charismatic individuals worthy of admiration and protection.
