Visual arts alumna revives Niuean art

Artist Cora-Allan Wickliffe began exploring hiapo five years ago, influenced by fellow Niuean artist John Pule.

She may be the only living practitioner of hiapo using materials and methods similar to those employed on the Pacific island until the early 1900s when the art began to die.
