We are finally catching our breath after the whirlwind that was Maui Open Studios this year. Cara and I were thrilled to have so many people come to my home art studio a few weekends ago.

I’m celebrating my 74th birthday today (yay Aquarius!) and thinking back to an art sale from a few years ago. A young 7-year-old girl (with her parents’ help) purchased three of my paintings from the Enchantress Gallery in The Shops at Wailea. The family was decorating their new home on Maui and the young girl was thrilled to select these pieces for her room — and she was on her way to start collecting art!
