Scarlet Secrets: Book Two in the Scarlet Series
What you can’t say – owns you. What you hide – controls you. Scarlet knows the truth of these words all too well. As the stress of a family wedding builds, her resolve to be a #GoodDaughter wears thin and toxic truths begin to take their toll. Scarlet’s epic humor carries her through everything from (more!) forbidden croquembouche, to uku infestations and melon-like wardrobe malfunctions, and more of her family’s barbed idea of love. Sometimes you just have to laugh through life’s pain, or else you’ll cry your heart out. Right? Can Jackson be the strength that helps Scarlet break through the lies? Or will her secrets destroy them? Experience the tropical heat, humor and heartache that is Scarlet’s trip home to Samoa.

Watermelon was the inspiration behind the colour palette and title of this print.

Suli: Re-Storying Inheritance – COMING SOON
Contextual and Biblical Hermeneutics from Samoa and Moana-nui. “E se’i le futi ae toto le suli.” A doctoral thesis by latuivai Kioa Latu, published in 2025 by Piula Publications, Apia Samoa and Missionshilfe Verlag, Hamburg, Germany.
“SULI: Re-Storying Inheritance: Contextual and Biblical Hermeneutics from Samoa and Moana-nui takes on, with critical erudition and lamentation, the contagious combination of the Christian Bible, law, and politics in the interpretation and regulation of land issues in Samoa. Through a contextual, relational, and decolonial lens, Latu presents a provocative Suli hermeneutics to investigate biblical inheritance narratives and the role of Samoan Christianity in their reception, but also as a gesture towards reaffirming ‘ele’ele or land as the birthing center for understanding being and knowing in Pasifika. This is a call for a theological re-storying to safeguard land as inheritance, and a valuable Ala’imoana, ‘the way in and of the moana,’ for anyone who wants to learn Samoan theology.” Upolu Lumā Vaai, Professor of Theology and Ethics and Principal, Pacific Theological College, Suva, Fiji.

The Bone Bearer
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.
