ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The pineapples in French Polynesia are ripened in the field and picked just a day or two before they are fully ready to be eaten. They are the sweetest pineapples anywhere in the world! Sold in packets of 3 to 6, they are tied together with a strip of wild hibiscus bark. I placed them on my studio floor, on the woven plastic beach mat, which is called a "peue" here. (Tahitians use them as beds or floor coverings.) I liked the contrast of colours between the orange of the pineapples and the blue of the "peue". Pineapples have wonderful geometrics and lively prickly personalities! Currently this painting is hanging in the boutique of the Brando Resort on the island of Tetiaroa. It has an optional hand carved marquesian kaori wood frame, sold separately.

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!
