The ‘Hawaiian Photos’ collection comes from my Hawaii chapter. When I had little room to create or money to spend on my art and had to get crafty. I found these little greeting cards at local thrift and antique shops I would frequent in hopes of finding something cool to paint on.
…
At first I only found three, but as I searched I found more. They were always waiting in the dark dusty corners for someone to rediscover them. Each card came with a description of the photo on the back and some info on the original organization that created them.
…
I found these photos of old and pre-colonized Hawaii breathtaking and deserving of a second chance. So from then on, whenever I found one I bought it and brought it back to my little room on the hillsides of Captain Cook to paint on it.
…
This collection is still living as I’ve found more years later on a trip to Kauai and plan on continuing my search whenever I’m back on the islands. With this collection I hope to breathe new life into old photos and bring them back into the forfront of our awareness.
