Born in Samoa and raised in New Zealand. At a young age I found creative expression through music and paintings. Both artforms have been prominent throughout my life and have great significance to my art today. I received a diploma in arts in 1997 and have been an exhibiting artist ever since.
My paintings are conceived in similar fashion to my work as a music composer. They are collective expressions of layers, colours, time, concepts, with the aim of finding a presence and harmony in the final compositions.
