I painted the first Sunset Swell study in 2011-2012 after a fun late afternoon surf at Sunset Beach on the North Shore of Oahu. Sunset Beach was in perfect form that day. The waves, wind and beautiful sunny weather all combined to make it a day to remember. After surfing we ran to Ted's Bakery and came back to watch the sunset and enjoy some Haupia Pie. That evening the sun was glowing through the breaking waves and creating the most beautiful hues of greens, blues and yellows. The tourists were clapping and hooting, the locals enjoying some pau hana time with friends and families and the last surfers of the day coming in and turning around in amazement to watch the beauty that nature shows us.

I am so thankful everyday that I am able to live in Hawai'i even after 25 years my love and appreciation for the land, the sea and the people hasn't changed at all!

Sunset Swell is available as a matted print in 3 sizes with optional frames that we make on the North Shore of Oahu.

We also offer Sunset Swell as a sleek, modern aluminum print available in multiple sizes. These prints are great for a more modern, simple feel. Light and easy to hang right out of the box. These gorgeous metal prints are processed much quicker than the canvas giclees as well if you are in more of a rush but want to give a piece that will really stand out to everyone who sees it.

As a new edition to my blogs, i am adding some of the press that I have received from the release of certain pieces. This excerpt came from an art critic from Australia after seeing my art at The Wyland Gallery in Waikiki. It's been so hard for me to share these types of things as I feel that it may come across as bragging but I have been working so hard on refining my style for over 20 years now and while I am humble for my success I am also proud that my art is being accepted and admired around the world. 

My hopes as an artist has never waned. I just want to create art that shows nature's beauty to bring a smile to your face and a little extra Aloha to your heart. Thank you for your support and your time to read about my art!
