In 1982, the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries coined the term, Shinrin-yoku (forest bathing)–promoting the health benefits of spending time in and connecting with nature. It turns out that surrounding ourselves with natural beauty– watching the sunlight dancing through the leaves and listening to the birds sing–relaxes us and relieves stress.
This show is intended to connect you with that feeling through both realism and abstract works that call on you to slow down and appreciate the beauty that surrounds you. Enjoy! We're always happy to bring the works to your home to see how they feel and fit for you.
And remember, 10% of the sales from the show benefit the Hualalai Ohana Foundation.

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
Puakala ele by Melissa Chimera

"The Hawaiian poppy called pua kala (thorny flower) has sharp spines at the tips of the leaves. It thrives in some of the most dry and desolate areas near sea level. Archibald Menzies, a visiting botanist in the 1800s, found a Hawaiian woman manipulating the flowers of this native poppy. And when he asked what she was doing, she informed him that by taking the `ehu, that is the dust, the pollen from one flower to another would increase the number of edible seeds. This is a glimpse of the intimacy of the empirical science of the Hawaiians and their living landscape.” -- Dr. Sam Gon
