I was born in Mehara, Lautem district, on 14 March 1979. I attended primary school in Mehara and continued on to study at the Dom Bosco Vocational College in Fuiloro. In 1999 I suffered an illness which provoked paralysis in my legs, extending to my chest. In 2006 my physical condition caused me to drop out from my university studies. As a young child I had a talent for art, and so I opted to explore my creative talents further. In my art work I like to depict scenes in the daily life of poor, simple people and also landscapes featuring mountains and tranquil village life. Had I not become physically disabled, I would never have become an artist. God helped me to discover this talent through my illness and suffering.
