- About Me:
- I'm a self-taught artist living in my home town of Hilo, on the Big Island of Hawaii. (Yes, the one with the active volcano Kilauea) I love my island home, and growing up here has given me such a blessed sense of what true beauty is all about. I've been so fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience my culture, and it's magical lore first hand, in which I've chosen to incorporate in my artwork.
In my earlier periods of exhibiting and creating my paintings, I did a lot of what we call Hawaiiana. Which to many would be hula dancers, flowers, landscape, etc. But as life has a way of leading us upon our own search for self, I found myself diving deeper into realms of mystery, self identity, and the darker unrevealed passions. In which I find to be where my true talent has chosen to blossom.
At the present time I'm working on a new study of graphite on rice paper and tracing paper, which I find I love very much. I'm also intrigued by the human form, and it's depth of mystery as well. So we shall see where that leads. But for now I'm loving what I'm doing.
Besides being a fine artist, I'm also a crafter, instructor, and jewelry designer. I'm working on my fall collection to exhibit real soon. I'm also selling my work in local shops, and have just been invited to exhibit my work in a new gallery boutique in New York called House of Creations. I presently have two on line boutiques at Etsy.com
called Jewelry by Reshell and Stone & Bone. And I'm doing pretty well.

I believe as an artist it is my opportunity to share what I do. I believe that although we create art, we are only doing half of the process. The other half is in the sharing. I believe that to share what we do makes to process complete. And in it's completeness we evolve as a person, and artist and as spirit motion.
I love what I do, I love learning new techniques, I love driving myself mad with the process, but above all I wouldn't change a thing. I love my life, and art has given me the vehicle to make it what it is.
so to all of you, thanks for coming by, and jump on and enjoy the ride.

Cutting Cost, Buying Wholesale
Hey you all, if you're like me, always looking for the next best super deal on craft and art supplies, than you better start buying wholesale.
Okay, in order to buy wholesale, you gotta first get a business license, but if you do lots of work and sell on etsy, locally, or any where else, than trust me it pays off.
I've been buying supplies from my local Ben Franklin, and a few other craft and bead supply stores, and Oh My God!, they just upped their price over 100%. How do I know this? Well as… Continue

Selling Locally In Your Own Home Town
Yesterday, I decided to take a chance and put myself out in my community again. I use to do it a lot in the early 90s, when my children were younger, I was more into seasonal crafting then. I did lots of local style items for different gift shops, craft fairs, and a few Friends who owned speciality item shops for "Omeyagi, goody baskets."
Now that I'm more into my wearable items, jewelry, and fine arts, I just really wasn't seeing the impact on my sleepy little town of Hilo. But I woke with a f… Continue

Coming Up For Air...
Just wanted to say, thank you to all those patient souls, who lent an ear to my rant. Trust me, you all matter.
I'm much better now. I just wanted to mention here, that I love my etsy shops, Stoneandbone.etsy.com, creativecaldron.etsy.com and Jewelrybyreshell.etsy.com. If it wasn't for such a platform, I think we all would still be trying to figure out what to do with our work, where to begin, how to begin and most of all the frenz we've made along our path.
With that being said, This is a SHO… Continue
