About the artist

Juliette Pita is currently the most well-known artist in Vanuatu. She was born in 1964 on Erromango Island and is the third of eight children. She is a widow with three children and an adopted niece.

The painting titled Cyclone Pam II:shows a mother bending and praying over her child. The waves crash over her but a palm tree bends protectively over them. The palm tree is Juliette's favorite tree with strong roots able to withstand strong winds. The woman's skirt is modelled on the traditional clothing of Erromango. On the horizon you can see small crosses representing the lives taken by cyclone Pam in 2015.
