Iupati Custom Arts

Junior Iupati was born in New Zealand but grew up in the island of American Samoa.  Junior and his three siblings were raised in the rich Polynesian culture, which he credits as a major force in his life and artwork. He took up drawing at a young age.  Although  Junior never had the opportunity to take formal art courses, he found a passion and a calling through art which he practices incessantly. He describes his ability to create art as a blessing. Junior explains that the motive for opening his business is to express “family, unity, beauty, and the culture of the Polynesian people to the world.”
