I painted this amazing view above Ulupalakua at the Fleming Arboretum. This sanctuary for rare native plants is nestled in a twin cinder cone.
The cottage in the distance was built by D.T. Fleming, who started the arboretum fifty years ago. The view looks out at Kaho'olawe.

This idyllic spot is on the back side of West Maui, past Kapalua and the snorkeling spot of Honolua, and yet before the road becomes truly wild.

I painted this piece on site at the Maui Academy of Performing Arts anual Garden Party. It is such a fun event! The painting was auctioned off the moment I finished painting it!

Koki Beach in Hana took on a stormy energy when I visited last January. The ocean can be wild in these parts.

On New Year's Day I went to Fleming Beach in Kapalua, and I brought a good-sized canvas with me. What a beautiful way to start the year.

This painting was chosen for Art Maui 2009.
Ke'anae Peninsula is a gem. Go there, and do not rush. Just soak in this piece of old Hawaii.
The fields are of kalo (taro) the staple food of old Hawaii. They are farmed in family plots, and flooded with water from the mountain streams.
At the opening of Art Maui, I met a family who farm the lo'i (taro patches) right in the foreground. They even knew the names of the ducks in the painting!

I was out at Ahihi Kinau, past Makena and Wailea, where Maui's most recent lava flow came down to the ocean. There was a potency in the air--the sun on the lava rock, the ocean swells, wind gusts, and cool clouds ringing Haleakala.
I had to stop right there, and paint.

I created this painting to express the layers of history and years of conservation at the Fleming Arboretum in Ulupalakua, Maui.

Ke'anae Peninsula deserves a panoramic view. This is one of my favorite spots to stop and enjoy the motion of the surf on the Road to Hana.

This was a beautiful day at my studio in Kula... I just had to paint the view!

I painted as the afteroon rolled towards sunset, and the last preparation were made to launch these canoes, just carved in the weeks before.

At Wai'anapanapa State Park, in Hana, I followed the coastline along until I could look back at the beautiful Black Sand Beach.
The energy of the scene caught me.
It needed to be painted large so you could feel like you were standing there too.
