Highlights:

This print features a favourite food in Samoa: Corned Beef or Pisupo.

Like artists for centuries, I teach myself about painting by doing my own versions of the great masters and modern icons.

Personally, I’ve never been attracted to the artwork by American artist Andy Warhol (1928-1987), but corned beef cans gave me the perfect opportunity to explore his work. Step into the experience of studying the minutiae of mundane objects and products.
It was interesting and it gave me a new appreciation.

Me Time

Highlights:

 

This painting is about trying to capture the individual experience of looking inside for clarity and truth and looking outside for strength or inspiration.

I painted it as I was learning to meditate.

An unlikely sources of artistic inspiration in this depiction of a Samoan woman is mosque architecture.

Visiting the Seamstress | Alu I le Su’isu’i

Going to your seamstress for a new dress or puletasi, choosing your material, being measured all over your body, hearing feedback about your measurements, discussing the design, discussing the event… it’s a whole thing.

My Time

Highlights:

 

The image that comes to mind is a figure inside an hourglass with most of her body in the lower half and just a head and arm reaching through to the top half.

I decided on the most simplistic abstract form following the style of Matisse.

It seemed to make the image more universal.
Everyone knows the feeling of time running out but not giving up.

Cry Me A Moana

Highlights:

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.
