A Samoan artist in her eighties wants to encourage more Pasifika to take on art as a career.
Pusi Urale has been working as an artist since her husband passed away in 2014 and has recently opened an exhibition in Auckland called Mafine.
The exhibition explores the female body in different forms such as the stage of pregnancy to a grandmother scolding a child.
Sela Jane Hopgood went to the exhibition.
