statement

Twenty years ago, a group of artists united to save the Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden from the then destructive planned path of H-3 freeway. In response to the celebratory nature of this 20th anniversary exhibition, I have used a combination of drawing and historical photographs to show the importance of our gardens, and their value to us aesthetically, economically, and as a mechanism for furthering visitor appreciation to the wonder of our island home.
