"I started painting on glass (mainly wine glasses) a few years back and I absolutely love it! I draw my inspirations from my Rotuman and Fijian heritage and being surrounded by the beautiful scenery that is so rich in the island paradise.

I am so incredibly proud to be from such an unspoilt island Paradise which I was very fortunate to have visited when I was 5 years old. The memories are still as fresh as if it were yesterday. I hope to travel back with family in the next few years..."
