Acrylic on canvas 11x14" with wood floating frame.
This print is of Nā Mokulua Islands in Teal monochrome and golden hues. If you hold the front of the painting up to the light you can see the 2022 image of the history of its evolved imagery that is now the current style on top along with both signatures from 2022 and 2026.
The Oahu Evolution Series explores how place and self transform together across time. Each work began as a raw, minimalist painting from 2022, rendered in cool pastel teal and silver highlights. In their current form, those waters have deepened into richer teal, warmed by soft golden clouds and light catching the surface.
This evolution mirrors the way we carry our history forward: our past shapes who we are, but never defines where we might still grow. Teal itself holds this arc - tranquility, communication, emotional balance, and the quiet courage of spiritual growth. Diamond Head Outriggers, Kahala Beach Island, and Na Mokulua Islands are not three separate paintings. They are three chapters of a shared transformation - the artist and the art, grown together on the shores that shaped them both.
