Live Auction Items:
August 2021 in Hawaii
This is a special offer, just for Chamberlain Ballet, as this amazing home is not yet available for reservations. The vacation home must be used during the month of August 2021.
Located on the Big Island of Hawaii, in the Mauna Lani Resort, the 3800 square foot home features beautiful views of the golf course, ocean and Maui. It has 3 en suite bedrooms, plus an additional 4th bedroom. It can comfortably sleep 8-9 people. The property includes a koi pond, private pool, spa and outdoor bar.
The home is in the process of being renovated, and because of the pandemic, we cannot guarantee the newly renovated home theater will have the audio visual equipment installed by August, but we don't think you want to fly to paradise to sit inside and watch movies. There will be no renovations or installations during your stay.
Homes located on this resort rent for an average of $1100 to $2500 per night, depending on the season. Your Hawaii vacation includes 6 nights and 7 days, during the month of August 2021, and is only available tonight, during this live auction.

Title: Floral Profusion
Type: Acrylic Mixed media
Size: 30 x 40 inches on gallery wrap canvas
Description: “Floral Profusion” is a springtime color palette, contemporary, floral painting. “Floral Profusion” is inspired by the loving relationship of a mother and her beautiful daughters. The center dark pink flower represents the mother and is unique in form. The daughters are represented by the branching, formative, flower-type structures on the right and left sides of the painting. All three flower types are rooted in a blue stream of living water representing the Holy Spirit in their lives. The dark blue, ink like paint, that veins the floral structures represents the husband and the father figure giving stability and strength.
Floral Profusion was created by the artist Teresa Krieger, specifically in honor of the dancers in the Chamberlain Ballet.
