“Leilani” is my latest figurative painting in my new collection of Polynesian women. I love this subject matter, which for me depicts the Hawaiian Polynesian woman as strong and sensual. In my experience of living in Hawaii for 30 years, the Polynesian women are the powerhouse of the family unit.

I’m super excited about this series as it’s a great opportunity for those of you who love my work to collect a softer color palette. I am working with the positive and negative shapes, complementary and secondary complementary colors. Here I focus on simplifying shapes and using an outline quality that you can find in some of my heroes such as Matisse, Cézanne and Gauguin. 

I am loving this new series, and I hope you do as well.
