Background:
INSPIRATION:
Most of my inspiration came from watching YouTube videos and learning from the work of other great masters.
EDUCATION:
Currently enrolled at the National Art School (NAS), Darlinghurst, NSW, Australia , as an Undergraduate Final year student.
EXPERIENCE:
I started drawing at the early age of five and was influenced greatly by my father. Although my father was not an artist he inspired me by introducing me to images that led to my love in arts.
Whilst attending craft markets with my mother in 2012, I was introduced to the Moresby National Art Theatre. At this venue, there were a lot of artists selling paintings and various craft works. It was there that I became aware of the late Martin MOROBUBUNA, a very well-known and respected Papuan Artist, and it was his work that inspired me to paint. From that point on, I began teaching myself to paint using YouTube videos. Those short videos were also my initial introduction to the work of the great masters.
