Mele Ma’i: Procreation Chants

“To say the least, everything is very encapsulating.” - Andy

A recently awarded series (Larson Gallery, 41st Annual National Juried Exhibition) “My intent with this series is to not only serve as a medium to the island of Oahu by sharing its beauty, but to also educate others on just a small portion of its history, culture, and land, which must be protected.” - Teresa Robertson
