Villanelle
Playing with poetry structure and paint using Samoan markings.
These small paintings about poetry are inspired by the huge paintings (pic 6) I created for the VIP Lounge at Faleolo International Airport.
The villanelle originated in Italian and Spanish folk songs and in the late nineteenth century, the French began to form the villanelle into a more fixed poetry structure of nineteenth lines: 5 lots of 3, and concluding with a set of 4 lines.

Mango Fandango
INSPIRATION
Mangoes are always special.
Fancy. Soft. Sweet. Round.
Celebratory and luxurious.
So this is what I infused in the figures, tones, and shapes.
It feels warm and sweet and happy.
I learned so much about mangoes doing this painting.
Eg.
🥭The paisley pattern on bandanas originates from mangoes.
🥭The leaves from a mango tree are believed to repel negative energy and attract prosperity and fertility in India where the mango is believed to originate.
ARTWORK
The starting point was the heads of the women, which followed an exact formation of mangoes hanging on a tree. Everything went from this point.
I used the colours of mangoes: orange, yellow, red, green, coral, purple. Tropical, sweet and glowy.
I used the curvy shapes of oval mangoes, long pointy leaves, and delicate long red stems laden with pale yellow tiny mango flowers.
Metallic colours of gold and copper added luxe and celebration.
This is the story of Mango Fandango.
(I used fandango in the sense of fun, party and dance).
Lady Fingers | Misiluki
- I was staring at banana trees when I started painting this and deciding on a colour palette.
Yellows, greens and browns. Not colours I usually use but you can’t argue with nature’s beauty.
Then the title just seemed so obvious and perfect.
Misiluki is Samoan for Lady Finger bananas.
Lady Fingers. Five digits on a hand and five is the number of sisters I paint over and over again.
This bunch of five sisters are all grown up.
The Cleaner
The first painting of every year is significant.
It sets the tone, mood, style, and benchmark for the year.
The Cleaner was my first for 2024.
It’s a figurative painting of a woman with a broom.
She wears only a lavalava and a sei.
Inspirations.
1. I fell in love with a sculpture by Italian artist Ernesto Coter while eating in his kitchen at Santa Maria Rezzonico a few weeks earlier. The sculpture was sitting on the sideboard beside his dining table. He said it is a Samoan woman dancing. This painting is a response to the sculpture (Pic 5)
2. A new year inspires a fresh look at life, reassessment, and decluttering. It’s not the first time my first painting for a new year has included a broom. It’s about spring cleaning your life as a new year begins.
3. Spending time with my family gave me a fresh respect for two of my sisters who each successfully run their own cleaning businesses in Queensland. It’s more interesting and complex work than I expected, and what they do for their clients is admirable.
I wanted to honour cleaners so I painted gold behind her head to show she is iconic.
And she had a gold broom.
4. Samoans sweep everything regularly – the beach, the grass the house, and everything.
5. A woman with a broom is a timeless and common sight in the background of every culture and every age. I want to uplift and highlight this symbol.
As a goddess. With an iconic halo.
We have often been this person and often see this person. And they’re important and essential.
They get rid of crap and they make the world more beautiful.
Goddesses.
6. I painted a blue ocean type background because I was seeing a lot from the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Dubai, while painting. Many people I know were there representing island nations of the Pacific Ocean.
Cry Me A Moana
My sisters and I live different lives than we used to.
I watch their online stories traveling Europe and dancing at music festivals.
We discuss pending court cases and struggles of self-employment.
The days of desperately seeking babysitters, carpooling for school events, and borrowing from each other to pay the rent are gone.
We are less compliant and more calm.
We are more heartbroken and less cooperative.
We are smarter and deeper.
That’s what this painting is about.
Letting go. Floating.
I’ve always loved Ella Fitzgerald singing Cry Me A River.
The lyrics say it all. Cry me a river, I cried a river over you.
But the version that goes with this painting is Cry Me A River by Julie London, Live at the Americana Hotel, New York 1964. It’s breathtakingly beautiful.
So this painting is titled Cry Me A Moana and captures a similar sentiment as the song.
(Moana is a word that means ocean in several Pacific Island languages.)
Five brown-skinned full-bodied women floating in water.
They are reaching and twisting.
Their respectable white dresses become translucent, and the flower leis of honour are drifting away, and the women don’t care.
They float above fish skeletons and remnants of the past.
I hope it resonates. I want to make art that people feel, not only look at.
Deep Down
DEEP DOWN

Sometimes you need those days.

Whispers of an Island Heart
Some stories are not meant to be shouted.
They are meant to be whispered.
It’s Antonina’s first year at university, a girl from Ōtara stepping into the country’s most prestigious campus, carrying the weight of expectation and the lingering feeling of being an outsider in someone else’s world. Between late nights, first crushes, new friendships and the chaos of becoming an adult. She begins to find her place with the steady support of her friends and grounding love of her family.
Antonina believes she has the year carefully mapped out, until she meets him…
What follows is a journey of emotional awakening, self-discovery, and the fragile beauty of first love. Rooted in Pacific warmth, humour and lived experience, Antonina’s story holds both youthful impulsiveness and the quiet weight of where she comes from. She invites readers into the moments that shaped her, the almost love that lingered, the heartbreaks left unresolved, and the constant pull between desire, family, faith, culture and identity.
Antonina explores what it means to grow into yourself while carrying the echoes of who you once were. It is about the relationships that changed us, the words we never said, and the healing that arrives not suddenly, but slowly, over time.
Whispers of an Island Heart is for anyone who has ever held on too long, loved too deeply, or searched for themselves in the quiet spaces in between.
Pua’s Kiss: Lauele Fractured Folktales #1
When you’re dating a Niuhi shark in human form, there’s no such thing as a casual Hawaiian fling.
The last thing Justin wants is complications. Jilted at the altar, he’s spending his pre-paid Hawaiian honeymoon alone—sort of. Sasha, his ex, won’t get out of his head. Frustrated, he takes a walk at sunset and discovers a beautiful woman asleep on the sand.
But Pua’s not really a woman.
A shape-shifting Niuhi shark, Pua feels compelled to visit the beach at Lauele. She doesn’t care that it’s forbidden by her father, the ocean god Kanaloa, or that breaking kapu can only end in blood, tears, and teeth. Justin’s a tourist. Here today, gone tomorrow.
Nobody’d even miss him.
What starts out as a casual flirtation soon turns into a high-stakes cat and mouse courtship as neither Justin nor Pua are who—or what—they seem.

One Boy, No Water: Book 1 of 3 in the Niuhi Shark Saga
When you’re allergic to water, growing up in Hawaii isn’t always paradise.
Everybody loves Jay.
I love my brother, too. Sometimes I wish I could be him–a surfing star instead of the weird kid allergic to water, the Blalahs’ favorite punching bag.
But that’s not the worst of it.
In the middle of the night, I dream. There’s a mysterious girl who lives in a magical place and acts like she knows me better than I know myself. We hide from the Man with Too Many Teeth. Some nights I wake up with my heart pounding and the urge to eat raw meat.
It’s just a dream, right?
But then I saw him, the Man with Too Many Teeth, walking along the reef at Piko Point.
Not even Jay can protect me now.
