The Magical Wiliwili Forest

Once upon a time on the island of Hawaii, wiliwili, ‘ohi’a, sandalwood and lama trees tunneled their roots into the lava encrusted earth, grew tall and sheltered a variety of plants such as halapepe, ilima and pua kala, along with insects and birds like the amakihi. Though earth-bound, the forest was a powerful force of nature attracting clouds that brought precious rain to the land. Time passed and people came. Only the strongest of all the plants, the wiliwili tree, survived the voracious appetites of the sheep, horses and goats brought by the people. As the forest disappeared the clouds vanished and the land became parched. The wiliwili survived, but is now endangered.

This image depicts eighteen species of trees, shrubs, birds, and insects that populate the dry forest ecosystem and will one day thrive again because of the restoration efforts of organizations like The Waikoloa Dry Forest Initiative.

Description

The Magical Wiliwili Forest  Giclee (Archival Reproduction)

Dimensions:  23″h x 32″w

Giclees are digital prints reproduced from original art. My original art is photographed by a professional art photographer who captures the subtle details that make my woodcut prints special, like textured wood grain and color gradations. The highest quality archival pigments and paper are used in the printing process, and your print should last for more than a lifetime when cared for properly.

Print dimensions are listed. Contact me for custom sizing and pricing.

Details:

Each print is signed personally by me and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Custom printed per order on a beautiful, heavy weight off-white archival paper.

Giclee prints come with a 1 ½ inch margin, which adds 3 inches to each dimension.

Print size may vary by 1/2” to accommodate scaling in size.

Each print is rolled into a sturdy tube for safe shipping. USPS Priority shipping, unless otherwise requested.

Shipping costs a flat fee of $20 for up to 4 prints in the same package. Allow up to 3 weeks for the production of your custom print and 5 days for shipping.

Custom sizing is available. Contact me to discuss.

UV plexiglass is recommended for framing your print.

 

Print Editions and my Take on Reproductions

Because printmakers produce an edition of original prints that are numbered, in the past, most artists who work in this medium have not offered giclees. However, with the rise of digital art I am committed to offering reproductions because I want to make a sustainable living through my art. Also, many more people can enjoy beautiful art in their homes because these reproductions are more affordable. For both of those reasons it makes me very happy to let go of this ancient tradition!  I still honor the tradition by offering  an image as a giclee print only after all of the original prints in that edition are sold out in my studio collection.
