Imagine this: a single design consultant is assigned to each client. In a series of one-on-one conferences, the consultant takes the client through each step of the design process from initial brainstorming to fruition. In between, the designer works closely with the client, creating a file of all the products that he or she is interested in, specifying the model or finish, and ordering the item as well as overseeing installation.
LORI HIGGINS WAS ON HER WAY TO PALAU (a tropical island some 4,600 miles west of Hawai‘i) for a diving trip when a layover in the Aloha State changed her life. She decided to check out Maui. “It felt so right I never left,” says Higgins. Her fourth day on Maui, she started working as a scuba instructor at the Grand Wailea Resort & Spa. Six months later, Higgins picked up a paintbrush and became a self-taught artist, consumed with the study of the old art masters and determined to find her own creative distinction.
"The
world opened up and I was compelled into it. The world is my palette, theatre,
audience and earthly surrender to paradise and the sea.” So declares Hawaiian painter Christian Riese
Lassen. In this case, the romantic style actually is the man, both in his
language and his remarkable paintings.
