Living and working outdoors in one of Hawai'i's most remote communities, I experience a special aura—one rooted in respect for the land (_'āina_), deep listening, and reciprocal care. In a place where Hawaiian culture and unspoiled ecosystems are fiercely protected, _An Auratic Place_ emerged through a call-and-response collaboration with the elements. Extending my imagination and consciousness, I attune to the frequencies and vibrations of the environment. Using my body and the act of painting as a conduit, I fuse organic gesture with geometric abstraction. The work blends natural materials with traditional media, embodying the body as both place and instrument, connecting to the land and the layered histories it holds.
