Artist Statement 2021
Born in Hawaii, this San Francisco Bay Area Artist loves to Paint, Work with Glass, Pottery, Metal and experimenting with all forms of art. Most recently working with Encaustic Hot Wax (Beeswax and Damar Resin) and Tinted Resin pours (Adding Acrylic or other items to Resin) creating Art & Function works.
"I am Hawaiian, an Artist that Paints & creates Metal Jewelry, living in Sunny California. Enjoying life being a Mom, Wife, Sister, Aunty and Artist, I scoot around town on my beautiful blue Italian Scooter and take each day a step at a time. Painting when I can, I hang my work year round and enter Juried Exhibition in the SF Bay Area. I took part as a Solo Artist at the International ART EXPO New York, an amazing adventure. To experience setting up my booth from scratch, preparing & shipping my paintings, taking part in this show was priceless.
I look forward to new adventures and a continued Artful life, Partnering with local businesses when I can, and finding new ways to express my creative side. Mahalo!"
