About The Artwork
I was doing an "Artist Residency" at Club Med in Bora Bora, and this woman was employed there. I watched as I painted all over the grounds, and saw how well loved she was there. I asked her to sit for me, and she was happy to. I loved the way the big terracotta pots of bougainvillea made a splash of nearly neon colour as a backdrop for her profile in semi-shadow, and the blue of the sky contrasts so nicely with it all. And of course it was a fun little nod to Vermeer's girl with the pearl earring. This is painted in oils on a lovely oil primed medium grain Yarka linen.

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!
