Tanya Masaniai Ibarra Art

Raised on the beautiful island of Tutuila, I was blessed to have access to artists, story-tellers, historians, and elders who shared their lives and experiences with us freely.
I have always felt a connection between my artwork and culture and legacy of my Pacific nation. Although many of the pieces have intricate details which are known only to few, I am honored by the excitement and emotions the artwork sparks in those who have acquired them.
