Lahaina, Maui

ONCE KNOWN AS LELE, WHICH MEANS "RELENTLESS SUN" IN THE HAWAIIAN LANGUAGE. LAHAINA WAS THE CAPITOL OF THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM DURING THE REIGN OF THE THREE KAMEHAMEHA KINGS.

The back story...

Twenty years of living and creating art in Hawaii has driven me to reflect on the "Polynesian Pop Culture" also known as, "Tiki Culture". It first came to America in the 1930s, and it is a unique offshoot that is inspired in part by Tiki carvings and mythology of the Polynesian and South Pacific islands, though the connection is loose and stylistic. The Tiki rode a wave of popularity in the late 1950s and early 1960s marked by the entrance of Hawaii as the 50th state in 1959 and the introduction of Tiki hut bars and restaurants around the continental United States. Then the mid 1990s saw the beginning of a revival of the Tiki culture, and it's still going strong.
