Summer 2008 ~I’m with Wyland Galleries~ Aloha! What a bumpy ride. In 2006 I squeaked by, almost loosing 25 years of my life when our beachside house exploded into burnt embers on New Years-- but I was blessed. Our Hawaiian Volcano Goddess of Fire, Pele did not ravage my 1,000+ art archives, writing and journals because I spontaneously transferred everything of value to a secure location a few weeks before Christmas. Without an intuitive insight everything I’d worked for would have been DUST! Neighbors heard three loud explosions--fire marshal’s investigation found no cause for the fire. Yes, I did "brave" Hollywood casting couches in the late 1960's and subsequently sacrificed an eminently successful movie career by kicking a number of producer’s in their marble crotch bags. The opportunity for success by exploitation in the early 70's--even with the exclusive William Morris Agency representing me was the degradation required of young actresses, especially girls chosen to for Playboy's 'classier' than trashy foldouts. I think my experience was a blessing--because I jumped a German freighter and spent an entire year exploring Europe and North Africa barefoot, pregnant and hitchhiking with my Poet 'man', Jon-Jon Woodjack. It was a charming wonderful year filled with rich spicy food, empty beaches, music and superbly talented, fantastic people who were generous with laughter and stories, in broken english by firelight on beaches, cabins, and castles. Today I'm known, (not my words), as a "particularly F'ing awesome painter", despite the reputed dimwit personna of having been a Playboy Centerfold/Bunny. I've tried to not fall back on that, I’ve seen where it leads women who do. Not a good spot to dwell. I'm older, wiser, wilder in opinion and thought, and reside on a small older coffee farm/sanctuary/art studio in Honaunau HI. My only child Aaron passed away in 1986 which started my obsession with painting watercolor, doing sculpture, musical composition and oil painting. I still love the music of my childhood, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, all the hippies. I play flute every day while listening to Celtic and Classical, Hevia. I would be lost without music. I'm an environmental maniac, working on a ‘bio-green bag’, an alternative to plastic that decomposes with a symbol (see my sachiart.com page). I’m hoping the Stirling Engine, Parabolic mirrors, photovoltaics, unknown technology, alcohol fuels, Air Cars and Victory Gardens will save our sorry human butts--if it weren't for our population imbalance, we wouldn't have all this terrible energy and environmental toxcixity and degradation of the natural world. So WAKE UP WORLD...this planet doesn't need so damn many of us!? And you celebrities? You’re NOT Good Role Models. China FORSAW- and did something-- one child per family, and TAXES couples who have MORE children, rewarding those with less. LICENSING MY LIFE'S WORK IN PERPETUITY FOR 1$One Million Dollars$ ~ I digress, back to the LICENSING ISSUE--I am searching for an appropriate entity who will benefit from future sales of over 1,000 art archives, of which $250K is invested photographing and digitally archiving work for 25 years. What's good about this? One canvas "gicle'e" sells for between $1500 and $3500 retail. I only began marketing them in 2007, (100 prints X $2000 (average) =$200K). Some of the very few pieces I have just begun to market have ALREADY--sold in the dozens--IN JUST ONE YEAR. I'm particularly fond of the Sea Turtles and Koi I have painted. People love them, perhaps because the artist is such a fan of aquatic wildlife, especially the sea turtles. So, I am seeking either a patron in charge of the LICENSING OF ALL MY WORK, AFTER I'M GONE -- IN PERPETUITY, and possession of all the art copyrights and archives. I would like to make sure any future assets benefit a wildlife protection organization, as wildlife habitats have most suffered from human greed and abuse. The 48X60 inch original oil paintings I’m doing are selling for $20-30K, most of these original oil paintings fly off the walls at Four Season's resort (Genesis Gallery), with buyers like Disney, Cendant Corp, as well as Hanes, and Bali Lingerie CEO's.

SACHI'S COMMENTS:s-BIG EYE HAWAII TV INTERVIEW Channel 11, 8pm HST: I began working on whimsical art sculptures in the late 70's and early 80's, I'm a good sculptor, but I really wanted to paint, both my parents and three of my siblings are artists. Luckily, my first oil painting sold for $7000 U.S., more than I believed possible. My only child Aaron had just passed away --I was tremendously sad, focused on him, searching for a channel to direct my energy so I wouldn’t fall into an infinite black hole of depression. One of my first paintings depicted him sleeping on a sea turtle, it was later titled Amazing Grace, and was inspired by Urashima Taro, a legendary Japanese character from a children's book. Of the following years she remembers, I began with Ebay's first year with no competition and list of new clients. Since I began in 1985, I've sold close to a thousand watercolors and oil paintings to collectors and clients. Today 48"X72" Gicle'e reproductions on canvas are selling well at Wyland Galleries, and the Four Season's Genesis Gallery. In 2005 my best clients were Disney and Cendant Corp., both purchased originals and reproductions for resort installations. I’ve painstakingly made sure the work has value and longevity with archiving. Always foremost creative rather than logical, - a painter, not a great publisher, always hoping someday I might retire from the years of daily work at easel with palette knife. There’s elation being part of the Wyland Galleries family. I am deeply passionate about finding a responsible organization to which I can pass on the financial benefits of this life work. Compared to Georgia Okeeffe? I couldn't guess a single painting by Okeeffe would be so extremely valuable, I can’t wrap my brain around that. As for the muse that visits my studio when I paint? The talent whirling in the wind, resting on my shoulder...like a butterfly--a moment in time, it always humbles me. And, whom or whatever they may be, I am extremely grateful to the Great Spirit for granting me it's presence …especially to one they might call Georgia.
