"Transcendence happens in those moments that move us," shares Heidi. "Sometimes the moments are small and seemingly insignificant, like the light moving across the water as the sky shifts with color each dawn. Transcendence  happens when we are there — present in the moment — part of the light and the shifting sky - one with the world as it holds us, unfolding into the new day.

This work celebrates the sun rising in the east behind Mauna Wakea. The vantage point is from the deep waters off Kawaihae beach and fishing village before the harbor was built."

Painted Paper Collage
36" h x 18" 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.

"Anaeho'omalu Bay, in one telling of the mo’olelo (story), was named after young princess from Puna who made her way across the island with her sister, Puako. They both settled at the places named after them. This work is part of the Purple Mountain series–a study of the mauka to makai ahapua’a on the Big Island of Hawaii. Anaeho’omalu, or “A Bay” as it is commonly known, inspired this work with the mountain in the distance." - Heidi Buscher

"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”

"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

Cyanea macrostegia is known formerly from Lāna`i but now found only on Maui.   Dark velvet purple-black curved flowers emerge from this rain forest tree.  The nectar of these unusual flowers and the orange berries are food for Hawaiian forest birds.  These palm-like trees with paddle-shaped leaves are evocative of a pre-historic jungle.  The species is now only found in a healthy and diverse rain-forest. Lobelioids are one of the most spectacular examples of island evolution in flowering plants with curved flowers matching the bill of their bird pollinators.  - Melissa Chimera
