Visit the Carson, California studio of Samoan painter Iosefa Tuilagi, whose large paintings use the geometric patterns of siapo (Samoan bark cloth) and tatau (traditional tattoo). Working in earthy browns and black, he mixes these designs with portraits of his family and scenes from Pacific Islander life in Southern California. See finished paintings and works in progress, and hear about his process. Small group, casual conversation.
