Gro Films's video: RUBYANNA MAHINA

RUBYANNA IS AN ARTIST AND SINGER/SONGWRITER BORN ON MAUI AND RAISED ON THE BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII. SHE IS A LEGALLY BLIND ARTIST, WHO HAS BEEN FACING ONGOING VISION LOSS THROUGHOUT HER LIFE. ART HAS BEEN A SOURCE OF THERAPY AND UNDERSTANDING FOR HER, A WAY FOR HER TO COMMUNICATE HER CONSTANTLY EVOLVING PERCEPTIONS OF THE WORLD. SHE FINDS STABILITY IN EMBRACING CHANGE AND EXPRESSING GRATITUDE AND WONDER THROUGH CREATIVITY. www.rubyannamahina.com SONG BY RUBYANNA DIRECTED & EDITED BY RUBYANNA CINEMATOGRAPHY BY GRO FILMS RUBYANNA HAS RECENTLY ACQUIRED DEGREES IN ART AND PSYCHOLOGY IN THE PURSUIT OF WIDENING HER PERSPECTIVE AND SOOTHING CURIOSITIES ABOUT CONSCIOUS EXISTENCE AND THE WORLD. THIS CREATIVE CURIOSITY CAN BE SEEN IN HER SONGS AND ARTWORK AS WELL AS IN HER SHORT STORIES, POETRY AND OVERALL APPROACH TO LIFE. "NO OTHER THRILL CAN COMPARE TO THE FIRST MOMENTS OF CREATION, WHEN A WORD FALLS FROM YOUR LIPS OR A FEELING BECOMES TRAPPED IN PAINT. IT'S THE THRILL OF FINDING MEANING, FINDING YOURSELF!" SAYS RUBYANNA. RUBYANNA RELEASED HER SELF-TITLED EP IN THE FALL OF 2012 AND IS NOW WORKING ON HER FIRST DEBUT ALBUM COLLABORATING WITH LOCAL MUSICIANS INCLUDING DOMINO WALCZUK, KRISTIN JOHNSON & MARYA SZAUR.
