This is a still life with spider orchids, red and tiger, in a "maohi" vase created by Huahine Pearls&Pottery, on a local style cloth with a bamboo backdrop. Orchids are prized in French Polynesia, where the climate suits them very well. They love clinging to stumps of coconut trees, or any rotting wood. These are from my garden. I loved the quietude in this still life, the light coming from above in my studio gallery was white and steady, and their simplicity felt very "zen" to me, though painting them was anything but "simple"! I have a tropical wood frame for this, 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!
