Love and Aloha, or The Spirit of Aloha, was inspired by my daughters Ku'ulei and Ku'uipo. Ku'ulei means "Sweet Blossom" and Ku'uipo means "Sweetheart" or "My Beloved." The Spirit of Aloha is about the giving and receiving of unconditional love. This is the kind of love I know. It is the kind of love I was taught by my parents and caring family members and friends. It is the kind of love I try to practice each and every day, though oftentimes imperfectly. It is the kind of love I hope I have taught my daughters and grandchildren. It is the kind of love I hope for all to experience on a regular basis. It is the kind of love that will heal the world.

Love and Aloha. The Spirit of Aloha. Unconditional love.

I am attempting to bring attention to the importance of unconditional love and fearlessness to the world one painting at a time.

Thanks for visiting. I wish you love, hope and peace.

THE INSPIRATION

Two hearts dancing is a metaphor for the connection that takes place between two people or a group of people.

Two hearts dancing is what happens in an exciting relationship of two people in love, when friends meet for lunch and they talk for hours reminiscing, laughing and time stands still.

Two hearts dancing happens between two hearts of any kind: a girl and her rabbit, a boy and his dog.

Two hearts dancing symbolizes people engaged with one another experiencing the bond that comes from spending time with each other like when a grandmother sits at the art table and explores colors and lines and paper and glue with her grandchildren, or when a grandfather takes his grandchild on a special date to the ball game or to a skating class.  Or when a mother listens quietly to her daughter's fears, or when a father isn't afraid to hug his son.

Two hearts dancing represents the joy experienced when a lost soul returns home or when misunderstanding changes to love and acceptance.

Two hearts dancing represents peace.  It represents joy.  It represents forgiveness.  It represents understanding.  It represents acceptance.  It represents friendship.  It represents family.  It represents generosity.  It represents gratitude.  It represents grace. 

Two Hearts Dancing represents LOVE.

THE INSPIRATION

Sisters . . . biological . . . friends--kindred spirits.

Ageless.

Someone who listens with an open heart,
Someone who holds your hand while crossing that bridge,
Someone who carries your heart when it's tender,
Someone who knows your weaknesses and never judge,
Someone who listens and speaks the truth,
Someone who brings you flowers on cloudy days,
Someone who forgets your secrets,

Sisters.
