Daughter of the Land
$ 50–$ 1,500Our 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.

Tropical Morning
$ 50–$ 1,500This is the 4th image in my series of Tropical Ladies. Just north, outside Hilo, along the Hamakua heritage Coast, is one of my favorite places on the island. Follow the scenic detour signs and it will take you on a journey through a magnificent, tropical jungle with waterfalls and steams and the beautiful, Onomea Bay. Its green embrace is a balm to the soul and that is where I see my lovely lady sitting in her tropical paradise.

Mana
$ 30One of my favorite stories is how the image “Mana” came about. I was doing a photo shoot with the Lim family, as I was illustrating a book about Hawaiian hula movements. Nani is the Kumu, but for some reason she had to leave the beach and run back up to the car for something. Lorna and I were talking and I said that while we had been doing some pretty straightforward thing like woman, ocean, palm tree and bay… how would one translate something without form… for example the word “mana”, which mean more or less, “Heavenly Power”?

Ho’omakaukau
$ 150This 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.
