A glimpse into the life and thoughts of an artist

February, the month of love, it is also my birthday month, and the only month that I offer original HeartScape Intuitive Paintings.
Each original HeartScape is quick & beautiful, and includes the intuitive insights I receive while I paint. The words I receive provide added information and insight for you.
The beautiful purple and gold HeartScape above was created for Tammy Vitale; it is her energy and her beauty. It's the only HeartScape that I ever felt the need to "color outside the lines".
If you know Tammy, you know that's suits her perfectly.
Tammy keeps her original HeartScape posted over her computer where she sees it daily. She says it's "perfect!"
HeartScape Intuitive Paintings are a creative, personal Valentine's Gift for you or for someone you love.
 The painting to the left is the original HeartScape I painted for my friend, Rebecca. She gave me permission to share it, along with some of the information I received for her. The information that accompanied her painting has more meaning for her than for you, but in part it reads:
"Life unfolds in layers, like sediments. It is good to mine the layers to find what lies beneath. The treasure is always toward the bottom of the well. Don't give up too soon - on anything!"
Valentine's Special
During the month of February, you can purchase an original, personal five-inch HeartScape Intuitive Painting for yourself, or a friend, for $45, or have it framed in solid Koa for $145. The first 20 people to order are guaranteed to receive a scan of their original painting on or before Valentine's Day, along with the words I receive. Your original personal 5"W HeartScape Intuitive Painting, on watercolor paper, including your heart's message for you, will arrive in the mail within two weeks. Close your eyes for a moment, relax, take a breath, and ask yourself if you, or your loved one, wants to know what's written on your heart.

You give valuable long-lasting tips, and best of all you leave your students feeling so inspired! You are crazy good at what you do -- lucky me!"

 Born 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 become the painter she had always dreamed of being.
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 live their lives to the fullest.
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
