ABOUT THE ARTWORK
These delicious "Abiu" are a tropical fruit of Brazilian origin, that grows well in French Polynesia. It is an exotic treat, since there are not a lot of them. A friend gave me a few, and I immediately went home to my studio and set it up on this turquoise local style "pareu" or "pareo" cloth--the traditional style printed cotton that is prevalent in French Polynesia. I liked how the turquoise contrasted against the yellow orange of the fruit. I painted it on canvas laid down on composite wood panel. Then I dived into it and enjoyed the delicious sweetness of it's pudding like texture. It has an optional tropical wood frame, sold separately. It is hand carved by Marquesian sculptor Jean Huukena, from Nuku Hiva.

French Polynesia
I am a painter living on the south sea island of Huahine, in French Polynesia. I work primarily in oils on linen or canvas, but also in water media, pastels, and ink, and mixed media. I was born with a penchant for painting, and have been lucky enough to also be endowed with a will to stay on that path against all odds. My life path has been rich and varied and has contributed always to my development as an artist-being-human. I hope I get to live at least 500 years because I have enough inspiration and projects to last that long!
