GIPAHO
Artist Bio
GIPAHO's ruling planet is Jupiter, and her assigned element is Fire!
Born & raised on a Dairy Farm in Berlin/Germany- living & working in Honolulu as a Healthcare Prof in the Medical Coding, CTR field, since 2008. A current licensed LMT/MMT… Her twin self, she calls the creative side in her, the implemented gifts influencing her passion to build with her hands Artwork, different materials like Clay, Glass, Metal, Fabrics, and Fiber. GIPAHO is influenced by our vivid colors of Mother Nature’s shapes, forms, creatures’ variety & beauty- fascinated by perfectly uniqueness… those moments she captures with her camera, her so-called 3rd eye, first, before converting /expressing in her Multi-Media Artwork. Photography is another field she has been inspired by since the 70-ties, starting with B/W images.
Since 2015 GIPAHO has been very inspired to dig her hands into clay, work the wheel, or form sculptures supported by her Higher Self influence. The variety firing process takes place in electric, gas kiln, Pit firing, or Raku.
“If we can re-learn (like when we were kids) walking through our Live journey here on Mother Earth with joy, with open eyes, loving-kindness, awareness; being able to listen to our inner voice/intuition, we will detect talents, God-given implemented gifts and USE IT" GIPAHO believes.
