Aloha!
Thank you for taking a look at my artwork and photography! I am local-born and raised so I have an immense love for Hawaii and her beauty. My home/studio is in Kaimuki, Hawaii so everything I create is locally made here in Hawaii.
If you love Hawaii, what better way to convey this than through greeting cards to send all over the world? And with my small home decor items, you can always send/take a little bit of Hawaii home too! Tea lights are sized to fit nicely into carry-on luggage, a perfect "Omiyage" gift!
But most importantly, you are supporting the local artist industry!

GREETING CARDS
They are standard 5x7 folded card size, created from my original digital photos I've taken from walks around Oahu via its beaches and anytime I see a beautiful scene. These photos have not been retouched in any way...what you see in the photo is what I saw through my lens. I believe these photos show the true natural beauty of Hawaii, guaranteed to make anyone smile.
The photos on the cards are printed on high-quality professional photo paper and, yes, they ARE suitable for framing, so one's love for Hawaii's beauty doesn't have to stop with "just" a card! Frame it and keep reminding yourself of your time here in Hawaii. A good selling point.
Cards come with envelope in a clear bag and is made of acid-free 80% recycled paper.

Home Decor
Home decor incorporates re-used items purchased at thrift stores and garage sales and decorated with a beach-theme using both natural and man-made materials I personally hand-pick on our shores. These glass tea light holders come with an individual candle and give off a nice warm glow, a perfect accent for a romantic evening or while soaking in a nice warm tub while relaxing with a glass of wine!
Because the glass holders are "reclaimed" from various sources, each tealight is an original so size, shape and design may be different. Some are "one-of-a-kind." I strive to keep the ocean as my major source of inspiration, so most of my designs have wave or seaweed patterns.
Sand, shells and beach glass have been coated with a sealant but are not 100% waterproof. Clean with gentle hand-wiping only. I love using single-use tea light candles as they are simply discarded, creating very little waste in the trash (and landfills!) and there's no melted wax residue to scrape off.
