Rainbows and squalls (uakoko) light up the view towards Makua from Paweaka, the reef in front of the old Taylor Camp site. The Hawaiians used subtle, informative and poetic descriptions of reefs, rain, wind and clouds. These clouds, ao pehupehu, or continually growing cumulus, drift with the tradewinds as they pick up moisture and darken at their base, finally releasing their rain on windward shores and cliffs. Now part of the Ha‘ena State Park, the Hui Maka’ainana O Makua, a volunteer group, manages this area, providing cultural stewardship for extensive lo’i kalo (taro) and other canoe plants grown at Hā‘ena State Park. The Hui also developed Hawaii’s first Community-Based Subsistence Fishing Area on these reefs fronting the park.

PHOTO PRINTS
Prints are on Hahnemuhle heavyweight (315 gsm) 100% archival cotton “Photo Rag Baryta” paper, using archival inks and archival spray coating. They have a 200-year life expectancy before any deterioration of the print will be observed when stored, handled, and displayed under archival conditions.

CANVAS PRINTS
What is often called “Gallery Wrap Canvas” is a fine art inkjet (Giclee) print on canvas, with printed edges to wrap around a wooden stretcher frame, like a painting. With canvas prints, your print image is still the same size, but given a "wrap effect" around the edges to account for the thickness of the stretcher. Canvas can be rolled and shipped with no effect to the print. Your local framing shop should be able to mount the canvas to stretchers at a fraction of the cost of traditional framing, making for an overall more economical way to get fine art on your wall. The canvas is printed to wrap around a 1-inch stretcher (1.5 inches on larger sizes). Specifications will be provided with your order. Feel free to contact us if you need guidance with your canvas order.
