Featured Design for Victoria's Secret

I was recently commissioned by Victoria's Secret to do a design for their upcoming swimsuit line featuring artists from Kauai.  They really liked my cottage and ocean paintings and asked me if I could combine the two.  I said, "Absolutely", and this is what I came up with.  When it was finished my contact at Victoria's Secret said that her boss loved it, and so I shipped the painting over to their headquarters on Broadway.  I'm so excited for this wonderful opportunity!!

Mahalo to all of my art collectors, friends, and family!  I couldn't have done it without you guys!!
