Haunani Hess “Pali Wai Kupona” Original Mixed Media Diptych 30″H x 60″W $2400

I am a multi ethnic native Hawaiian based in Honolulu, Hawai’i. Self taught with a broad discipline, I consider myself a visual artist seeking to discover and express beauty in all things. 

Working with simplicity is my preferred challenge. The art of compelling the visceral for conceptual nuance is a process more important to me than technique. I’m more interested in what’s not expressed.
