Aloha Kakou, (Greeting's to you all)


"On the island of Molokai there is a reverence for the old ways. We learn to walk with respect and live in 'Pono' (balance). I have learned in time to do this work I must trust my 'Na'au,' my center of being, my inherent instinct."

"My vision is to perpetuate the Hawaiian history and culture through my art. I have been recording this world since I was a boy drawing pictures of plantation life on Molokai.

My mission is to weave personal expressions about nature, and its relationship with mythology and people into my work. I find the medium of oil the best to portray the intense vibrancy of color and mystical energy of the islands.

My hope is these paintings will transport you to a time before the written word, when stories were passed down through the generations by the breath of the storyteller's. I trust through this art you will make the connection of all life forces that made up the ancient world and wonders of Hawaii.


Mahalo Nui Loa . . . . .
