Depicting the Hawaiian legends using oil paints , charcoals, acrylic, airbrush and presently 3-D ocean art. A proud father not only because I followed in his footsteps but because he sees my natural talent that has carried on through me. At the age of 14 my journey began, using only charcoal to draw human faces. Then at the age of 18, I developed a love for makeup artistry. I spent a couple of yea
rs freelancing as a makeup artist. I worked with many models, brides, and other photographers . As I turned 25, a fellow photographer handed me a film format, Nikkon 970. I created images at every chance that I had. Seven years of photo shoots teaching myself through trial and error I decided I wanted to market my makeup and photography on the Islands specializing in maternity portraits. Expecting mothers with belly art and sandy beaches as a back drop I branded wonderbellies in 2002. Nine years and hundreds of painted belly images later the islanders turned to me when they wanted to capture a very special moment in time. New mediums developed with acrylic paint. Painting on wine glasses, jewelry boxes, kids furniture. In 2008, I wanted to explore canvas and different textures on a flat surface. With materials like sand, feathers, glass beads, spray paint and Lacquer. 4 Years of exhibits in the arts district in downtown, Honolulu and a 1 year display in a high end gallery in Oahu, Honolulu.
