About the Artist

~ Sylvia Collaço-Botza ~

Sylvia's love for nature and people enable her to create images that capture the essence of her subjects. Specializing as a Custom Portraiture Artist she works closely with her clients to produce a piece of work that is personally timeless and uniuqe. Hula and Hawaiiana is one of her favorite subjects, so she moved from California's Coastline to the shores of Hawaii.

The passion of her work is, "I want people to know, that beautiful creative portraiture is personal and different for everyone. You don't have to be a model to have an exquisite piece of art of yourself or of your loved ones. I want people to feel good about themselves...for each person knows, they contain a very special beauty of their own...and to capture that is breathtaking...to present it to someone...is joy."

Sylvia reisides in Honolulu, and photographs in Hawaii and California.
