About the Artist...

---

Coming from a long line of artists and musicians, my upbringing stayed close to Hawaiian cultural practices.  Although my art has evolved through age and experimentation, it is founded in the traditional Hawaiian practices taught to me by other Native Hawaiian Kumu (teachers) the first being my parents.  Enjoy the images and please feel free to email me with questions, comments or custom orders but be respectful.  All pieces are the sole property of the artist and reproduction in any way including imagery is strictly prohibited.  Mahalo nui loa or, thank you very much.
