Growing up on Hawaii Island, Mark Ley has spent every spare moment in the ocean. Diving, surfing and exploring. When his daughter came along, he shared his love of the ocean with her and over the years, his ohana developed their own form of treasuring hunting. They scour the reefs and beaches, gathering the bits and pieces left behind by other ocean explorers. And surfboard fins, stuck in the reefs, became a favorite find.

But collecting them wasn’t enough.

These reclaimed surfboards are then used to create one-of-a-kind works of art. Using acrylic paints and carefully constructed color palettes, Mark dips the fin into the paint and then presses it onto paper—memorializing the board, the special time with his family, and cleaning the reefs—all while providing us with original works of abstract art.

“There’s an incredible scope of shapes of boards, each with its own story and genre,” shares Mark, and through his work we become ocean explorers ourselves.

Exploring abstraction and the subtle layering of whites, this elegant piece by Christian Enns is a major departure from his beautiful plein air landscapes, though the landscape form does reveal itself in the piece. Christian is an award-winning surfer who captures the energy of Hawaii in all his works. They grace private collections around the globe.

Painted Paper Collage on Panel
36" h x 24" w

The process of collage takes Mary’s work into a new dimension. The use of Mary’s hand painted papers and additional hand made papers from around the globe create interesting texture and exaggerated movement in these collages. The effect is a visual cross between painting, mosaic and block printing. Light and color and shape taking flowers and water and landscapes to the edge of abstraction and back again.

"Two great stones once stood in the valley of Nu‘uanu on Oahu. These were said to represent the goddesses Hapu‘u and Kala‘iola. The goddesses were known to possess mysterious powers; they were guardians of Nu‘uanu Valley. “Akua no ka pali,” gods of the precipice”

"My friend’s yard has a large protea bush right at the entry. I’d never really noticed it before," shares Mary. "Generally, it’s kind of leggy–lots of branches, not a lot of leaves–so I wondered why it was prominently featured. In November I happened to be there and the shrubby bush had been transformed. Pink flowers everywhere!"

The silk surrounding the image has been painted with Jacquard pearlescent fabric paint which is permanent and lightfast. It gives the silk a luminescent look while still showing the texture of the silk. The piece represents the circle of Life and was inspired by the feeling Jim had upon bringing his father to Hawaii.

There are perhaps as many as 300 species worldwide in the genus Hibiscus. However, ma`o hau hele (Hibiscus brackenridgei) is found only in Hawai`i and federally listed as an endangered species. According to botanist David Lorence, “Hibsicus brackenridgei has been adopted as the official state flower of Hawai`i.  Showy blooms of brilliant chrome yellow first catch the eye. [The species has] five delicately creped petals and a column of stamens tipped by five stigmas."  The plant was once found on all the main islands except Ni`ihau and Kaho`olawe, but is threatened by alien animals, fire and weeds. - Melissa Chimera

"An old legend tells of Maikoha, a farmer who lived in Nu‘uanu Valley. At that time, people of old did not have kapa to clothe themselves; they bore the driving rains of Nu‘uanu without the benefit of kapa as protection. Upon his death bed, Maikoha grew weary of the cold. To his daughters he foretold a plant that would grow from his grave. He instructed them to use this plant to make kapa from its inner bark. As prophesied, the wauke plant grew from his burial place. Maikoha’s daughters followed his guidance and learned the ways of kapa-making. From this, the wauke plant spread throughout the islands and the methods to make its bark into the finest kapa were learned. So renowned was his gift of wauke that Maikoha became known as the chief ‘aumakua of the kapa makers: Maikoha, the Kapa-Maker’s God." - Heidi Buscher

My five-year old, Sofia, asked me a question while we were visiting Kukio Beach, “Is the ocean a girl or a boy?”

I thought about it. In French, “la mer” is feminine and means the sea. “L’océan” is masculine for ocean.

Sofia said, “I think it’s both, a girl where it’s shallow and the water is transparent and a boy when it gets deep and darker.”

The Makai Series explores the masculine and feminine components of the ocean, the ying and the yang, positive and negative energies intermingling, the empty space between objects, the calm space before the wave... There can be no light without dark, no movement without positive and negative forces.

"There are all kinds of paddling out," shares Mark. "As surfers we paddle out solo, in packs and for memorial. We sit in circles, lines and random collections of unique individuals. Boards drifting back and forth with the movement of the ocean and the energy of this gypsy like community. United by a simple shared experience of being in that place, at that time, riding those waves. The power of the now is real and raw. Named for a famed surf spot on the Kona coast, this paddle out is drawn from a childhood memory of a sunset session with friends, mentors and local heavy hitters."
