"My name is Ni Wayan Nuliati. I was born in Sukawati in 1968, the first of four children. My parents were farmers.

"Bali is a region of Indonesia which is famous for its beautiful scenery, its friendly people, tolerance, and a rich variety of cultures and ethnicities.

"I used to help my parents in any way I could. I worked in a restaurant as a teen. But most of the villagers in the area are wood-carvers, creating beautiful relief panels, sculptures and masks. "In my free time, I like gym and physical exercises. After graduating from high school, I got married. My husband is a skilled wood-carver and I learned this art from him.""
