Welcome - E Komo Mai!

April 2020

Aloha friends,

Welcome to Creative Connection.  It's April in the year 2020, and I am (like the rest of the world) sheltering in place during the Covid2019 pandemic. Being an artist, staying at home with my art studio on the property is not a bad thing. I've actually been using the time to finish up custom pieces and to create a brand new website that would FINALLY have my current studio inventory available for folks to visit and be able to make their purchases online.

My encouraging husband has recommended the addition of videos to my online store for years. He has watched me interact with collectors and interested people for years, in high heels and slippers. His take away was people need to see ME with my artwork. They need to see my interaction with it, because honestly, I love what I do, and I love sharing it with otheres. I believe that is why I am here.  So, I created a new web store that could accommodate videos. It is still in progress, and I am adding more inventory every day.

I have been doing fairs, exhibits and markets (big and small) to introduce people to my work for over 10 years now. I've shipped more boxes of my work around the globe than I would like to remember, and have set up shows in a myriad of different places, from private estates to convention centers to parking lots.  Beginning in December of 2019, I began attending the Waimea Town Market every Saturday morning from 7:30 amd to 12 noon.  I feel like I finally found my weekly home!   I will be back there as soon as Hawaii is back open for physical business. 

Until then - enjoy the online version of my studio!  And remember I am always available for custom pieces.

Stay home, stay mighty, stay healthy.

A hui hou (until we meet again)
