This 8x8 inch piece is part of a larger series of ink drawings on watercolor paper. I draw them outside by the ocean here on Oahu Hawaii. Used are div inks and sometimes watercolor on 300 gsm watercolor paper. They are part of a ritualistic series done in meditation and with specific intentions or mantras. Thank you for your interest.

This 22"x22" ink and watercolor piece on heavy watercolor paper, created under the Hawaiian sun with the breath of salty ocean air drifting through, moves between the geometric and the organic— between structure and tide.
Surrealism
Inspired by early European DaDa and Surrealist movement
Surrealism aims to revolutionise human experience. It balances a rational vision of life with one that asserts the power of the unconscious and dreams. The movement's artists find magic and strange beauty in the unexpected and the uncanny, the disregarded and the unconventional.

This mixed media work on watercolor paper (size 30"x22") unfolds as a vision of an inner and outer landscape intertwined. Rooted in the lush rainforests of Oʻahu, the composition evokes a “magic forest” where springs emerge, water flows, and light filters through dense, living matter. The earliest layers of ink establish a fluid, instinctive foundation—dark currents, branching lines, and submerged pathways that suggest movement beneath the surface.
This 36" × 24" oil painting on canvas was created on Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, and is inspired by the dense rainforest of Mānoa Valley. Layered shapes and interlocking forms translate the lush plant life into a rhythmic, almost architectural composition. A palette of deep greens, turquoise, and sunlit accents evokes filtered light moving through leaves and humid air. The work balances abstraction and organic reference, capturing the vitality, abundance, and quiet intensity of the island’s rainforest landscape.
Inks on watercolor paper 22”x 30”
This ink and watercolor drawing evokes a dense, breathing field of plant life—layered, fluid, and in constant transformation. Translucent washes of blue and green intermingle with darker ink lines that suggest roots, stems, and unseen currents beneath the surface. Created outdoors under the Hawaiian sun and shaped by wind and moisture from the nearby water, the work carries a sense of movement and natural rhythm, as if the landscape itself participated in its making. The composition oscillates between abstraction and organic growth, inviting the viewer into a living, evolving environment.
Philosophically, the piece reflects on fragmentation as a condition of the present moment: truth splintered, identities politicized, and meaning negotiated within overlapping layers of memory, fear, and hope. Rather than offering a fixed stance, the work holds space for contradiction—beauty and unease, vulnerability and resistance—inviting contemplation of what it means to inhabit a nation, and a self, in a time of profound social and ethical uncertainty.
