Moon: Aloha e Tamara, we are so excited to talk about you, your art, and your first exhibition with Polu Gallery!
Will you please tell us about your inspiration for this new series of paintings?

Some may sit empty and hollow, others host exquisite blooms never to go unnoticed. All are different, just like us all. We are all ‘Vesseled’.
