A glimpse into the life and thoughts of an artist

Happy Anniversary to YOU & Me 

Patrice at Lanikai Art Festival 7/2011It was 12 years ago today that I moved to O`ahu to become a full-time artist. To celebrate this anniversary, domestic orders placed through  www.artofaloha.com/shop ship FREE to the US and Canada during June.

 

If you have been receiving my emails for a while, you might remember the story ("Indiana Jones-ing Through Life) of how
I came to live and paint here in the islands.  

 

If you are new to these emails, or if you would like to refresh your memory, you can read about it here (scroll to the bottom of the page, click on the #3, once there scroll to the "Indiana Jones-ing" article -- I know, a bit of "humbug" but the story is true and pretty darn good too). 

 

It is always my intention to paint the energy and the life force, of my subject matter so that you will feel it when you look at my paintings.

 

My hope is that this feeling will help you connect with your inner self; and remind you of all that you are and all you have to offer to the world. If you find something at Art of Aloha that tugs at your inner connection, the shipping to the US and Canada is FREE this month.

Patrice painting at the Kailua Town PartyBorn in Port Washington, WI and educated at the University of Wisconsin/Madison, Patrice Federspiel first visited Hawai'i in January 2000. Within five months she had found a way to quit her job, sell her home, and move to Hawai'i to paint.

Previously an oil painter, Patrice learned the joys of watercolor upon her arrival in Honolulu in June 2000. She has been painting full time ever since. It is her intention to live her "Real Life" creatively, from the inside out; and to inspire others, through her paintings, art lessons, words, and example, to do the same.

Patrice is the President of the Hawai`i Watercolor Society.

"I paint with passion, live without regrets, and move joyfully forward through life." ~Patrice Federspiel
