Jeke Lagi is from Lami in Suva, Fiji.  At a young age, Jeke fiddled with copper wire and plasticine to create figures and scenes from Robinson Crusoe. He also began drawing; it was a small hobby that really developed when he was in high school. Sketching is something that he feels is part of his family.

Jeke also paints and intends to work on sculpture.
