Cook Island Princess

Kiaorana. I was a young and beautiful maiden, married in the year 1965, which was when the Cook Islands became Independent. The late Sir Albert Henry became the Nation's first Prime Minister. Here is my little story to mark my Golden anniversary of 50 year's to my Darling husband No 'el.... Te Atua te Aro'a...

What a stunning face! Full of intelligence and beauty. Thanks for posting Anthony.
What a shame the Velvet Dreams documentary didn't catch up with her/you to complete the story of the person behind that remarkable painting. Glad you can add and have added to the public record.

Wow. I did not a Cook Island woman was the subject of this beautiful velvet painting. She is beautiful. Did she sit for Charles McPhee or was the painting done from photograph? Either way, manea tikae.
