About The Artwork
My beautiful tahitian neighbour Tehere posed for me and my daughter, who is also a painter. We both have painted several portraits using her as the subject. She and her sister posed together and separately, and I have been inspired by both. In this painting she is standing next to a male papaya tree, the hanging flowers are perfuming the air. The title is Vahine pua iita (woman with papaya flowers). I was drawn to the patterns of light and shadow on her skin and in the environment. The intense sun in the tropical islands of French Polynesia enlivens the colours and evokes the coolness in the greens of the vegetation.

French Polynesia
I am a painter living on the south sea island of Huahine, in French Polynesia. I work primarily in oils on linen or canvas, but also in water media, pastels, and ink, and mixed media. I was born with a penchant for painting, and have been lucky enough to also be endowed with a will to stay on that path against all odds. My life path has been rich and varied and has contributed always to my development as an artist-being-human. I hope I get to live at least 500 years because I have enough inspiration and projects to last that long!
