History of Hawaiian Art
The Hawaiian Islands are unique and deeply rooted in nature, culture, and history. From the first European contact on the islands in 1778 to the formation of the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1795 and eventually to Hawaii’s admission to the U.S. in 1959, one thing that has endured is its rich culture and arts. Each art form is crafted with meticulous detail and deep meaning, connecting the people of Hawaii to the spirits of the islands and the forces of nature that shaped them.
Aloha is more than just a greeting in Hawaii, it is the way of being. The meaning translates to “the breath of life” and is represented as a way of being in harmony and sharing the essence of life. The word helps remind us to treat each other with love and respect. This philosophy, passed down through chants and stories from generation to generation, has had a large influence on Hawaiian art in all forms. Whether it be music, hula, chanting, poetry, sculptures, or photography, art made in Hawaii or featuring the beauty of the islands pays tribute to that heritage.
One of the most peaceful zen type of an image that I've created, a long exposure at Lanikai Beach on the island of Oahu just has a surreal look. The water color and pastel tones here at sunset are just really special

One of my favorite beaches I've ever been to and I just love the contrasts of this scene. The almost electric greens contrasting off of the black lava rock, the blue sky against the green and the waves against the black sand. Truly one of the gems of Maui and such a refreshing scene to take in. I captured this one with a medium format camera for maximum detail and color

These powerful images, carefully curated have been transformed into Hawaiian art prints for sale.
Kalalau Valley on the island of Kauai is one of the most special places on Earth to me. Just absolutely breathtaking and if you could imagine what heaven must look like, well I think it'd look like this

Tips on How to Live Aloha
It has been one of those years that no one could have predicted. Despite all the challenges, the Spirit of Aloha keeps us moving forward. Here are a few pointers to guide you in your journey to living a life of Aloha.
- Live in the present moment - being mindful about seizing the present moment allows the things that preoccupy your mind about the future to slip into the abyss.
- Ground yourself in nature - a predominant part of living Aloha is to connect with nature and its healing properties.
- Develop meaningful connections - creating deep bonds with friends and family is extremely important in Hawaiian culture. Ohana (family), whether it be blood related or not, gives people a sense of community and purpose.
- Be optimistic - this one is easier said than done, but in order to live Aloha one must always strive to seek the positive in any circumstance.
- Love first and foremost - above all things, Aloha embodies the act of love and everything that comes with it including compassion, kindness, empathy, and respect.
