A Dream Catcher's Sunset

Nothing describes the sunset on Maui. In my current town of Hana we catch the last glimpse of sun way before it sets but sometimes I make my way to the other side of the island to capture it’s magic.
I started my artistic journey on my Dad’s lap, doodling with colored pencils coloring in his art. Luckily he always appreciated his daughter’s creativity. As soon as elementary school came around I won art contests put on by my school and the county. At eleven years old I won a contest at the state fair. By the time I was 14, I was painting murals in every house my family lived in. From there I took classes on printing, stenciling, photography, pen and ink (calligraphy) and all other varieties to enhance my already dream of becoming an artist. I always knew what I was destined to be.
I made my first dream catcher four days before I moved to Hawaii. I remember how easily it came to me, my virgin hands gripped the awkward sinew and wrapped until I realized I had finished my first piece. It always feels good to create something nobody else has. Hand made from the heart, it was a customers dream.
I switched from the sinew to wire and realized making the dream catchers got easier and easier until I had an abundance of necklaces, earrings and bracelets. I even made this. The Ojibwe tribe of Native American’s believed that dream catchers changed your dreams, with nightmares passing through the holes and pleasant dreams dripping down the feathers. I believe this represents my laid back dream life on Maui. Every dream catcher I make helps me forget my fears and live a productive yet happy lifestyle, which is what I hope people get out of them as well.
