About The Artist
“I was fortunate to grow up in New York City and have access to some amazing schools. I attended the high school of Art and Design in Manhattan and then went on to attend Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art where I majored in painting and photography. After Cooper Union I went to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn where I received my PD in Creative Development and Art Therapy. I later pursued educational degrees in Special Education and Supervision where I could use my license in Art Therapy and teaching, and actually support myself. My father was stationed in Schoffield barracks during World War II and filled my head with stories of Hawaii. My father had a hula girl tattooed on his arm, which was my version of what a princess would be like. I think part of me always knew that someday I’d be here. I am so grateful to be doing what I love, around people I love, in the place that I love. What can make you feel more alive than whales, turtles, rainbows and sunsets? That is what I want my pictures to show.”

For over 35 years the IRONMAN World Championship has brought the world’s best athletes together in competition. The inaugural “Hawaiian IRON MAN Triathlon” was conceptualized in 1977 as a way to challenge athletes who had seen success at endurance swim, running and biathlon events. Honolulu-based Navy couple Judy and John Collins proposed combining the three toughest endurance races in Hawai’i—the 2.4-mile Waikiki Roughwater Swim, 112 miles of the Around-O’ahu Bike Race and the 26.2-mile Honolulu Marathon—into one event.
On February 18, 1978, 15 people came to Waikiki to take on the IRONMAN challenge. Prior to racing, each received three sheets of paper with a few rules and a course description. The last page read: “Swim 2.4 miles! Bike 112 miles! Run 26.2 miles! Brag for the rest of your life!”
In 1981, the race moved from the tranquil shores of Waikiki to the barren lava fields of Kona on the Big Island of Hawai’i. Along the Kona Coast, black lava rock dominates the panorama, and athletes battle the “ho’omumuku” crosswinds of 45 mph, 95 degree temperatures and a scorching sun.
The IRONMAN World Championship centers on the dedication and courage exhibited by participants who demonstrate the IRONMAN mantra that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.® On October 11th, over 2,000 athletes will embark on a 140.6-mile journey that presents the ultimate test of body, mind and spirit to earn the title of IRONMAN.

Brittni Paiva
At 25 years of age, multi-award winning musician Brittni Paiva has released 5 solo CD’s and is a pioneer of her trade, using a looping device and recording multiple parts of a song (bass line, percussion & rhythm) all live on stage. It takes an immense amount of talent and practice to get all the parts of a song in sync with each other as well as having it sound much like the original. For the Pride Festival, Brittni is working on her arrangement of Katy Perry’s song, “I Kissed a Girl”. Its no secret that Brittni was recently married under Hawaii’s new law that granted same sex couples the right to marry. Brittni was excited at the chance to participate and spread her joy and love through her music and hopes that no matter gay, straight or bisexual, people enjoy her musical performance and the days festivities.
