CALL TO INQUIRE
Background:
INSPIRATION:
I am inspired by my tradition; particularly the myths, legends, belief systems from my area including the traditional art, which are mostly captured through my seeing the environment around me.
BACKGROUND:
I am originally from the East Sepik province of Papua New Guinea but I'm currently residing in the Nations Capital, Port Moresby.
EDUCATION
I dropped out from Ambunti High School in Grade 8. I followed my passion in arts by doing wood carvings since the 90s to sustain my living.
In 2000, I got into painting. Most if not, all of my paintings consists of my native Kwoma styled influence.
When I arrived in Port Moresby in 2014, I got myself into other styles of painting using acrylic.
I have been painting for almost to 21 years of my life and still going. So far, i can remember being part of 6 organized art exhibitions.
