From her Fresh Paint Florals portfolio:  Three Archangels

The flower portrayed here is one of the Cattleya orchid varieties. Orchids dot the landscape of Hawai‘i. They can be found on the grounds of hotels, the backyards of many homes, and on the plates of most restaurants. Orchids are quite easy to grow…as long as you remember to ignore them and be patient. Generally, they like indirect sun and very little water. When cared for properly, they’ll bloom once a year…or when they’re ready.

 I’m so lucky to be surrounded by orchids while painting in Hawai‘i. Such lovely, sweet, gentle flowers, each time I paint them I am reminded of angels. These three “angels” arrived quite subtly. Each one is watching from a different perspective, guarding over us with such softness I am reminded of an anonymous quote I once read: “Soft has never before been so strong.”

 May your soft inner strength guide you this day, and your angels hover nearby, giving you strength along the way.

from her figurative portfolio:  Attitude - You've Got to Have It!

This painting is part of my Oracle Series. Oracles were once sought out as a source of wisdom and advice. All of my paintings teach me something about life. It is my hope that they will also show you something about yourself and your life.

 The trees in Hawai‘i are so sculptural, I often imagine seeing figures in their trunks and branches. This tree spirit is so sure of herself she appears to be pushing back the Ko‘olau Mountains. No one, not even a mountain range, is going to tell her how to live her life!

 Sometimes life feels easy. Other times, it can be a whirl of decisions, one right after another. When life begins to get you down, reach inside for a little more inner attitude. Remember that you have all of the answers you are seeking inside yourself. Then remember to frame your questions in a new way. Sometimes asking a question of wonder will change the answer you receive. For example: “What would happen if…” can be a great beginning to your quest.

or from her Mermaid portfolio: Release Your Inner Mermaid

Mermaids, the legendary creatures of the sea, have a place in the mythology of many cultures throughout the world. In some stories, mermaids sing to enchant sailors, in others they don’t realize humans have forgotten how to breathe underwater. Even Christopher Columbus’ log mentioned having seen mermaids, although he thought they would be more attractive than those he had seen.

 This mermaid relishes her life under the sea. She feels so free. If you feel her joy and freedom, perhaps it’s time for you to release your inner mermaid and allow yourself to let loose … at least a little bit!
