Aondrea, Bill, and I geared up to go spelunking through the Kanohina Lava Tube system.

“We’ve all heard that the unexamined life is not worth living,
But consider too that the unlived life is not worth examining.”

Wanted to share more of my inspiration with you today!
Two years ago, I was fortunate enough to have been awarded an artist residency on the Big Island of Hawaii – where one has the unique and rare opportunity to literally witness geologic changes in an instant.
During my time there, I experienced a wonderful balance of solitude and community.
Two other residing artists and I visited Kula Kai Caverns, part of the Kanohina Lava Tube system consisting of more than 20 miles of braided passage! Together with our guide, we embarked on a geological journey through this subterranean environment. Equipped with helmets, lights, kneepads and gloves, we hiked and crawled for 3 hours!
While studio time is imperative for artists, so are the life experiences outside of the studio that inspire and shape one’s work.
