    Ho’omakaukau

    $ 50$ 1,500
    This word asks “Are you ready!” and you will hear the Kumu Hula shout it out just before a performance.  The dancers then answer, “Aye” (yes) and step out.  Understanding the term is more than just  the words.

    Moku O Keawe

    $ 50$ 1,500
    This was the second image in the series of paintings that I did for the Moku O Keawe Festival.  The monies from these posters were donated to help perpetuate this great event.  Moku O Keawe was the original name for the Big Island.  It means “Land of Keawe” who was the ruling Chief of the Island at the time.  In this image I was trying to capture the Big Islands essence.  The three dancers represent the mountains Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualala’i.  Their lau hala skirts made me think of the waves breaking on the shore or the mists curling around the mountains.

I live less than 10 miles from the site and felt honored to be asked to do such an important image. It was at the event that I first met Hale Makua--a spiritual leader and mentor to many of the men of the Na Koa. He had kind eyes and was easy to talk to and we quickly developed a friendship.  I was snapping photographs all morning when I turned and saw him sitting calmly under a tree, beautifully backlit by the rays of the morning sun. As I prepared to take the picture,...

    Daughter of the Land

    $ 50$ 1,500
    Our beloved Nohea Amaral Kahiliwai, daughter, wife, mother and dancer, passed away suddenly from cancer.  We have eaten many times up at her beautiful home in Koloko, surrounded by the forest and listening to the bird calls.  It is so high up the mountain that even my Kamuela hardened body shivers with the cold!  We saw, first-hand, her dedication to her husband, little son, mother-in-law.  Her ready smile lightened every ones heart.
