“As a nature photographer living and working in Hawai’i, my lens is guided by deep reverence for the land (āina), sea (kai), and sky (lani) that shape this island home. My work reflects a deep respect for the natural world and aims to capture moments of stillness, movement, and connection within it. Through photography, I seek to honor Hawaiʻi’s unique beauty and biodiversity while encouraging a sense of stewardship. Each image is an invitation to look closer, feel deeper, and recognize our responsibility to protect the fragile ecosystems that sustain us.”
Inspired by the flora and fauna of Hawai’i, these works reflect the artist’s connection to the islands’ natural world. Through vibrant forms and organic detail, the pieces celebrate native species while highlighting the beauty and fragility of Hawai’i’s unique ecosystems.
