Teuane Tibbo

Overview
Teuane Tibbo

1895 – 1984
Born in Samoa, migrated to Aotearoa in 1945

Teuane Tibbo came late to art making. She was born in Samoa in 1895 and arrived in Aotearoa in 1945. She had no formal training in art and was in her seventies when she first started painting. Despite this late start, Tibbo produced a significant body of work, painting floral scenes and depictions of island life in a richly colourful pictorial style. In 1964, she became the first Pacific Island artist to have a solo show at a dealer gallery in New Zealand when she showed at Barry Lett’s Uptown Gallery. Tibbo passed away in 1984 and her work has continued to grow in critical esteem posthumously.
