"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” 

"Travelers embarking on the journey over the treacherous Pali pass stopped to offer gifts of food, lei and kapa to Hapu‘u and Kala‘iola, seeking their protection and blessing for safe passage. A favorite lei offering was made of the sweet smelling pala palai fern. Parents would bury the piko of their newborn babies at these stones to ensure protection of their precious children." - Heidi Buscher

Quality. Beauty.

The quest for mastery.

These are the things I look for from the artists I choose to share with you.

When you make a purchase, you know you're buying innovative, original works from Hawaii's master artists.

This is the nicest gallery on the island featuring local and Hawaiian artists. Beautiful collection and a lovely owner who authored several books about the local artists. She is a great resource.
