The Paradise Collection

My daughter does a solitary, heartfelt dance for the ocean.

Some trips change you forever. Our recent family journey to the Big Island of Hawaii was one of those. It was my four-year-old daughter’s first time on a plane, and in her sweet imagination, Hawaii was simply a tiny beach, a cliff, and the perfect spot for a picnic. Reality, of course, was wilder. There was even a tsunami evacuation our last day—an adventure we hadn’t planned.

We explored hidden coves, white sand beaches, and majestic waterfalls. But the moment that stayed with me most didn’t involve grand scenery—it was pure, quiet magic. My daughter wandered to the ocean’s edge and found herself standing on a jutting piece of lava rock. In front of the glowing sunset, she began a hula dance—no audience, no prompting, just her and the sea. When the dance was done, she sat down and told her story to the ocean itself.

The Paradise Collection is born from those colors, feelings, and moments: the deep blues of the Pacific, the fiery glow of sunset, the lush greens and golden light of a tropical day’s end. Each piece is a little memory of Paradise, made to carry the joy, wonder, and connection we found there.
