About The Artwork
This tahitian man is peeling a breadfruit, after it has cooked on the fire the skin becomes charcoal, and it is removed and set on a bed of "burao" (wild hisbiscus) leaves, to be eaten usually with fresh squeezed coconut milk. Traditionally breadfruit accompanies most meals, along with other root vegetables and cooked bananas and doused with a thickened coconut sauce. I painted this on a linen canvas with a transparent "ground" so the neutral beige tone of the linen runs through the painting giving it a lovely unifying effect. Heiarii is often a model for my paintings, his nonchalent Tahitian lifestyle lends itself well to being a "muse"!

French Polynesia
I am a painter living on the south sea island of Huahine, in French Polynesia. I work primarily in oils on linen or canvas, but also in water media, pastels, and ink, and mixed media. I was born with a penchant for painting, and have been lucky enough to also be endowed with a will to stay on that path against all odds. My life path has been rich and varied and has contributed always to my development as an artist-being-human. I hope I get to live at least 500 years because I have enough inspiration and projects to last that long!
