Hawai'i is one of 10 pieces that make up the Wanderlust Series. The entire series is a meditation on my past travels to different locations around the world.
The memories I reflected upon for Hawaii, include a field of fallen yellow flowers at a Honolulu botanical garden, a spectacular sunrise from Maui's Haleakalā National Park and a moment of pure bliss at Hanalei Pier in Kauai. The last three photos show these inspirations.
About the series: I selected round canvases to reinforce my belief that time is circular. Each painting reflects on a location and three memories or photos from that trip. The swirling look of each painting is like a hazy portal into the past. By utilizing mirror paint in the center of each painting, I invite viewers to become participants—allowing them to transport themselves into my memory and “traveling” to a different place.
This painting is 20 inches in diameter and .5 inches in depth. It is varnished and pre-wired for ease of hanging.
