Whau Pasifika

07/10/2026

Whau Pasifika had the privilege of meeting one of our community’s youngest talents at the Whau Community Art Expo at New Lynn Community Centre today. 🎨🌺

Lil sketcher Tino NZ showcased some of his amazing artwork, and it was a joy to see young Pasifika creativity on display!

Tino will be selling his artwork at St Johns Market this Sunday. If you’re keen to support him or buy a piece, get in touch through his Instagram. I have a feeling these early pieces will be treasured for years to come!

Give him a follow at Lil sketcher Tino NZ to see his amazing freehand sketching videos and explore more of his artwork.

Vinaka vakalevu, Tino, for sharing your talent with us. 💛
