Background:
INSPIRATION:
My inspiration came from the animated cartoon movies being watched during my childhood and also from my late uncle, who was a sign-writer.
I have already acquired both Fine Arts knowledge and how to apply it. Besides, I also gained knowledge in computer aided arts and design and have had new inspirations from senior artists within the Fine Arts and Computer Graphic domain.
I am now employed by the Health department and am responsible for the Health Promotional materials for Awareness and Promotion of Healthy Living within PNG societies and cultures.
I would like to create Behavior-Changing Materials (both still-art and animations) to target both children and adults into eating healthy and nutritious meals, do medical check-ups, do daily personal hygiene and also exercise regularly.
EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:
I have a Bachelors of Arts in Arts & Design at the University of Papua New Guinea. The courses I took during my four years of Study included: Fine Arts, Computer Aided Arts & Design, Fashion & Textiles, 3-D Modelling, PNG Art and Artforms (History) and Professional Practice (Commerce & Common- sense).
I have participated in the National Cultural Commission's Art Exhibition and had attained a Certificate of Participation. Apart from that, I have also done some work for UNDP on Workplace Behavioral Change towards Persons Living With HIV/ AIDS and also attained a Certificate with UNDP.
