In this painting, Mahina was inspired by images of outer space and our amazing, life-giving planet. The sun is turning the Earth toward itself with a smile and highlighting Sequim with a tiny star. Our solar system is represented, along with countless stars. On the bottom, a hand is thrown up, spreading colors to swirl with the stars as a nod to the Sunshine Festival's Color Run. She loves what the Sunshine Festival represents - a celebration of the sun, light, and renewal at a time when we need it the most - and she hopes this painting captures part of the magic in the world around us.
