ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I love painting the flowers and fruits of French Polynesia, and I always have them set up on a "local style" printed cloth so that the location cannot be mistaken! Living on the island of Huahine, in French Polynesia, I have plenty of subject matter to choose from, and usually I get a delicious treat when I am finished (I eat my still lifes!)! I have painted several different bouquets of the emblematic "Tiare Tahiti" flower (gardenia tahitensis) which grows profusely here. It is used for flower leis and crowns, and as a daily hair ornament. The snow white flower sweetly perfumes my work, and anyone who has visited the islands of the South Pacific can call to mind the lovely scent when they gaze on my painting.

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!
