It's another beautiful winter day in Hawaii! As I write this, I can't help but smile knowing that it is February and outside the sun is shining, the flowers are blooming and a refreshing tropical breeze is blowing. We have had so much rain this season, that many of the drier areas like Diamond Head are lush with greenery.
People often ask me what inspires me to create artwork. The main source of my inspiration is from nature, and there is no shortage of natural beauty in these islands. If you have ever visited Hawaii or live here, then you can probably relate to my love for the variety of tropical flowers and foliage, spectacular mountains and beautiful beaches.
I am constantly observing nature in my day to day experience, and when I sit down to paint I like to portray Hawaii through my own perspective and interpretation. I try to capture the essence of how it feels to be enjoying a beautiful moment here in paradise. I hope you can get a sense of this through my paintings and designs.
If you would like to share in the beautiful scenery I find around the islands in my daily life, feel free to follow my Instagram and Facebook.
Aloha for now!
