A heartfelt welcome to my new e-commerece business, Hawaii Vivid Watercolors!! I'm so glad you're here.
I'm so excited for you to see the Hawaii and Sonoma Valley themed giclée canvas prints, as well as the unique art merch, with images of my painitings printed on them.
My original watercolor paintings are a vivid mosaic of color with incredibly lucid detail.
Often described as "luminous", they are quite possibly the most unique photo-realistic watercolor contemporary paintings on the planet.
This is because I invented my own technique. No one else uses my method.
My major works express the affinity and kinship I had with the aina (land) when I lived off-grid in Kona.
I was so blessed to experience these delights that caressed all the senses:
the beauty of rare, exotic flowers; the warm, sweetly-scented air; the soft, feathery ocean breezes; fruit growing wild + unattended.
All of my Hawaii paintings are deeply personal. Most of the subject matter grew on my property in Kona, or just down the road, as in Zen Bamboo.
Having lived in the islands for over 20 years, I can tell you...it was paradise.Sonoma Valley, too, had its own version of paradise, Northern California style!
