Cultural Legends of Vanuatu - Diana Tam
Place: Diana Tam Studio, Port Vila (1 Dec 2012 - 31 Dec 2013)
The Pacific Islands have played home to many talented artists. Diana Tam is one of these. Her artistic career has been as diverse as her multi cultural background. As an Australian born in Hong Kong her extensive world travels have ensured that all her work is imbued with flamboyance and vitality. In the early eighties Diana led the way with her interest in hand painted fabrics and dress as an art form. Never afraid to move on, she then successfully turned her hand to dress designing.
