Madame Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess came to me in a meditative vision. I was asked to think of what her tears would be made of - fire, of course. I drew what I envisioned on a discarded slab of wood hidden in a pile behind the studio. I made several after that day. On a day I was displaying them at a sales event at the Queen Emma Summer Palace, a Hula teacher approached my booth and loudly exclaimed "Pele's Tears, how wonderful!" I was shocked - how did she know that I titled them "Pele's Tears"? I was confused, she was confused, until she pulled out her phone and showed me a photo of the glass formations produced during volcanic eruptions that are called Pele's Tears. They looked so like what I had made that we both felt the mirror was inspired by Pele Herself.

Pele's Tears Set is a grouping of individually hanging wall mounted mirrored sculptures. Each one is cut from solid slabs of local tropical hardwoods like Koa, Kamani, Narra, Milo, Mango. The shapes are cut each by hand with jigsaw, each piece is sanded, then the mirror glass is custom cut to fit. They are finished with a hand rubbed polyurethane blend.

Each mirror is unique, so please note there will be differences in color tone, bark inclusions, and wood. If you have a specific size or shape, please select "custom order" below.

They come ready to hang, are lightweight and can mount easily without studs. The wood can be cared for with Henry's Orange Oil and Beeswax rub which will bring the wood grain back to its original beauty. The glass cleaned with a simple 70% alcohol spray directly on a rag then used to clean the glass.

MIXED MEDIA SCULPTURE | Ethereal, Atmospheric, Lustrous Wall Sculpture

Nadia, is a contemporary sculptor and painter who is trained in archaeology and fine art. She specializes in large scale wall sculpture and mixed media paintings.

Her art career began while excavating and illustrating a range of artifacts for university and scientific journals, working for Universities and CRM. Her career continued as a stained glass window manufacturer. After moving to Hawaii she studied with several carpentry masters and worked as a furniture repair specialist.

Rather than a literal rendering of a person, place or thing, her art is an interpretation of the energies and feeling of being in the ocean. She includes spiritual or prehistoric themes within each piece: ancient Egyptian Jewelry design, prehistoric rock art, and the scale patterns and colors found on reef fish.

The base of her art is local tropical hardwoods or wood panel. Her pieces often include hand cut mirror glass. Each of her sculptures are hand cut with a jig saw, and ground or sanded to shape. Painted, coated with art resin, illustrated with oil and wax paint, and details in hand cut art foils.

Her sculptures have been permanently installed in luxury condominium lobbies, high end commercial offices, and are in the collection of private clients in the Hawaiian islands and Australia.

An avid beekeeper, dancer, and surfer, she currently lives in Hawaii.
