About The Artwork
I used oils on canvas to paint this magnificent bouquet of "Opuhi", tropical ginger flowers, and bird of paradise. I had set it on a table in the corner of my studio on the motu of Maeva in Huahine, French Polynesia and when I stepped back I was enthralled. The vase is a creation by Peter Owen, of the Huahine Pearl & Pottery Farm. I love the echo of the tahitian tattoo designs and the earth tones that bespeak the Maohi people. My still life paintings always include local style print fabrics that anchor them as being distinctly in Polynesia. For me, still lives are anything but "still", there is so much aliveness going on in flowers, even as they are sitting in a vase of water. I sense their spirit so present and so anchored to Source. They are wonderful meditative subjects to gaze on.

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!
