Molini, a student in Year 13 at Hastings Girls' High, breathes life into her art, weaving a vivid narrative of her Tongan heritage through the strokes of her paintbrush and the intricacies of her printmaking.

Molini has been awarded excellence in the past two years for her Painting and Printmaking in NCEA Levels 1 and 2.

At her senior school prize giving, Molini was awarded a prize for excellence in Year 13 Printmaking. She also received an award for her high standard of work in Design and Visual Communication.
