Lyle Penisula was selected Mīharo Murihiku Trust’s annual Senior Artist exhibition for 2024.

Penisula has long explored ideas of cultural identity alongside his late father, well known Southland-based Samoan carver Johnny Penisula.  Lyle's own work is influenced by his Samoan heritage including his faith.  He was ordained into pastoral ministry in 2001.
