As a young girl Dapeni was taught to paint traditional Ömie barkcloth designs by her aunts at Budo Village.
She also paints soru'e (tattoo designs) she saw on her grandfather's body.
Since 2002, Dapeni has been teaching her daughter-in-law Diona Jonevari to paint traditional Ömie barkcloth designs and she has also begun to teach her daughter Dyna Jonevari. Artist’s Statement “I paint from my observations of the mountains and forests and creatures.
Dreams give me inspiration...
I paint to record traditional Ömie ways for dancing performance and feasting ceremonies.â€.
