Dessa is a Coromandel based glass mosaic and mixed media artist whose work explores emotional architecture, cultural memory and the reclamation of personal truth. Known for her vibrant colour palettes and intricate layering, she creates contemporary pieces that merge Pasifika heritage, lived experience and bold abstraction. Her practice spans mosaic, painting and sculptural forms, with works exhibited nationally and internationally and held in private collections. Driven by resilience and storytelling, Dessa transforms challenge into beauty, creating artworks that honour identity, self-determination and the power of speaking one’s truth.
