Hawaiian composers have
always taken license to write songs about whatever caught their fancy--be it
the flashing eyes of a pretty girl, the beauty of certain places, or a little
inter-island ship. Many of my paintings follow that same tradition, having
botherig to do with any history but my own. Glimpses of places and people, some
from faraway childhood, moments that express something essential about the
Hawai'i I've known: these have a way of bothering me until I put them down on
canvas.
