From my collection: / Napo’o ‘ana o ka la Sunset Ho’okipa Beach Maui Hawai’i / © 2008 Fine Art Photography by Sharon Anne Mau “Paradise is here, now. / We take walks in it Constantly mingling With the Presence That pours Its light In our secret lamps To extinguish the self Of its dire poverty: We are those lit receptacles Ruh imparts luminescence to. / This love-transfusion Pulls us to the Garden, / Singing in our veins With the spheres, / “Paradise is here, now!” / Bewildered, we throw Ourselves to the ground, / Rolling by turn in laughter Like small children, / We kiss that divine wildness That began when Allah said / “And know that you are to meet Me.” ~ Sufi Poetry by Aida Toure Free Hawaii

It matters not that things are small, or have small beginnings, they are still worthwhile, as worthwhile as the big things, and as it says in the song / from little things big things grow / / /
Archival pigmented ink on Merlin Natural 100 % Rag Paper Multiple art techniques and mixed media processes have been combined for compiling this compostition ie. photography, stencilling, painting, scanning, computer printing, re-assemblage & Photoshop. The roses have been grown at home (Innisfail, FNQld) and the pebble/stone imagery was taken just south of Port Douglas where there is an amazing all pebble beach. A Limited Edition of 25 only, size A3+ [13” x 19”] signed giclee prints in the highest resolution quality, are available for sale direct from the artist here Exhibited: *Light, Time & Facade Exhibition 2007 & ELevating the Spirit 2009 / ................................ ARTIST STATEMENT for Light, Time & Facade Exhibition My response to Light, Time and Facade has been to discern and depict metaphorically, multifaceted aspects of one’s being in both mind and matter or existence and universe. The vessel (symbol for being) in light and time, absorbs, reflects, refracts and transmits information to and from the surfaces around. “Reality is a game of illusion, delusion, perception and deception … The trickster (an archetype, a boundary dweller) exists to question, to cause us to question and not accept things blindly.” (Quote by Ellie Crystal). In the light of spirit I reflect that the boundaries that separate us are not as real as they appear, that our personal distinctions are illusory and that we are connected with all in the sea of universal consciousness, a fusion, a melting point. ................................ / ................................

Once the Chunkies are created and photographed, I usually dismantle them to be used in the creation of more chunkies, so I am recycling the plasticine. These Chunkies have been very therapeutic to create over the holidays, whilst taking a break from red bubble and having my family around. I have many more to come, and although I won’t be on RB as much, I hope to also be doing some serious painting this year…so i look forward 2009 with much anticipation … / / Framed Print
Droplets of water over a circular polirizing filter.
Abstract waterscape
Sitting at the dinner table I noticed a rather unusual shot! This is a macro picture of a small clear glass dish, containing Pure Olive Oil (for dressing a salad). The brown colour is the mahogany dining table, the pink colour (don’t ask!) is a rather ‘loud’ coloured napkin, both as seen through the clear glass dish. The large circular shape is an air bubble, with a splash of water floating on top of the Olive Oil. The pink in the air bubble is simply a reflection of the napkin (easy really)!
Experiment with bubbles and a black background. It looks like a soft fold of material or paper.
