Biography:
I grew up on Yam Island and moved to Darnley Island (Erub). My partner is from Erub and I have family here as well. I have always loved to draw, its something that comes naturally. I also enjoy fishing and walking on the reef. My artwork gives me the opportunity to express the things that are important to me, my identity and culture. Currently I am working with ghostnet and creating three dimensional work.
