Born in Samoa and raised in New Zealand.  At a young age, I found creative expression through music and drawing/painting. Both artforms have been prominent throughout my life and have great significance to my art today. 

I received a Diploma in Arts from Whitirea Community Polytechnic, Porirua, Wellington,  in 1997 and have been an exhibiting artist ever since.

My Paintings are conceived in similar fashion to my work as a music composer/producer. They are collective expressions of layers, colours, time, concepts, with the aim of finding a presence and harmony in the final compositions.
