"Nature is the Master — I hope to learn to emulate her through observation and imitation," shares Patrice. "This painting reflects the intention of being more visible in the world. Whether it be the world of family and friends, or the broader world in general, stand in the sunlight of your being and shine brightly. This is how we become the light we need to see and feel."

"The Hawaiian poppy called pua kala (thorny flower) has sharp spines at the tips of the leaves.  It thrives in some of the most dry and desolate areas near sea level. Archibald Menzies, a visiting botanist in the 1800s, found a Hawaiian woman manipulating the flowers of this native poppy. And when he asked what she was doing, she informed him that by taking the `ehu, that is the dust, the pollen from one flower to another would increase the number of edible seeds.  This is a glimpse of the intimacy of the empirical science of the Hawaiians and their living landscape.” -- Dr. Sam Gon

"Ulu (Breadfruit) grows on enormous trees with beautiful green leaves. The fruit is very starchy, but it takes on the flavor of whatever seasonings you use. They’re wonderful when smoked over an open fire," shares Patrice.

"The title, Second Chances, refers to the second chance at a longer life offered to these leaves through my painting."
