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.
#ifykyk
That’s what this painting is about.
Me Time
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.
Seedless and Chilled
Watermelon was the inspiration behind the colour palette and title of this print.
The original painting was one of three in a series of artworks of five sisters and all were related to a different fruit.
Fun, bright and relaxed – the watermelon vibe.
Pacific Blue Madonna
The original painting was exhibited and sold at the Regenerating Oceania Exhibition at the 13th Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture in Honolulu 6-16 June 2024.
This print is a deep statement about motherhood and the crucial role mothers have in sustaining society in Oceania.
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.

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.
