“Coral Garden” woodcut print was inspired by the sculptural beauty of Hawaii’s coral reefs. Corals are a central living structure of the Hawaii reef ecosystem. The amazing life that we see on the reef- fish, eels, shells, crustaceans, and so much more that is invisible to us, interacts with the coral in complex symbiotic relationships.
The idea for this image arose after the bleaching event that devastated Kona’s reefs in 2015. It happened so fast. One summer day I was snorkeling at Captain Cook Monument and saw beautiful amethyst-colored corals. I quickly realized something was different, and when I looked closer I saw that the golden-colored surface polyps were gone and the coral was dead. The next time I visited stony shapes were white and shortly after that the algae moved in. In many areas the corals are growing again, and yet it will take many years for the reefs to recover their former diversity and beauty.
I included my favorite corals on Hawaii’s reefs. These corals are not always found together, but I’ve taken artistic license to evoke the feeling and beauty of coral gardens. The plate and pillar corals on the right are common in Kealakekua bay. I love to hug the rocky shoreline when snorkeling. I’ve found huge cowries on rock shelves and once, a mass of several species of eels together. That was weird! The rocky shore is a boundary between the land and reef supporting a lot of life, and is shown at the top of the 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.
