'I am a multidisciplinary artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland, with proud Sāmoan heritage from the villages of Fasito‘outa and Nofoali‘i, Upolu, Samoa. Born and raised in West Auckland, my formative years were shaped by a dynamic household filled with music, creative expression, and a deep sense of community. This environment nurtured my early curiosity for the arts, which has since evolved into a dedicated and ongoing artistic practice. I currently reside in central Auckland, where I continue to develop and expand my creative work.
My practice engages with the motifs, narratives, and artistic traditions of my Sāmoan heritage, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Working across multiple disciplines—including woodworking, drawing, sculpture, digital fabrication, and musical instrument-making—I explore the intersection of cultural identity and artistic innovation. My Pacific heritage is central to my work, serving as both a source of inspiration and a means of communication. Through material experimentation and conceptual inquiry, I seek to honor and recontextualize Sāmoan artistic legacies within a contemporary creative landscape.'
