Pisupo Pacific
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.

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).
