A trip to the health food store to buy local foods for a pic nic, a stunning hike in Akaka Falls State Park, a quick dip in the river, and a refreshing drink of coconut in the historic town of Honomu.

​The more places I experince on the Big Island of Hawaii, the more excited I get about hosting a painting retreat here so that I can share this incredible place with you! What are some of your favorite places to visit on the Big Island of Hawaii?

5 new paintings added to Love Is The Balm Gallery: Dreams of Paradise, Olivine Pools, Rainbow Falls, Sacred Space & Super Moon.

​When I began painting, I found myself writing in my journal less and less. Instead, I chose to capture my thoughts, moods and experiences on the canvas. 

The knowledge that my "journal entries" hang on walls around the world infuses my work with a sense of responsibility to share the best of myself. These paintings are an expression of the powerful experiences I have had in Hawaii thus far.
