My Aloha Dreams series (Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts, Miami, FL 2007) explores dreams of paradise. Aloha Dreams uses Hawai’i as a tropical muse to explore pattern, color, figuration and abstraction. Beyond the gloss and allure of palm trees and plate lunch, the works in this exhibition delve into a more complicated history using images from popular culture, textile design, and my own family history as sugar cane plantation workers on the Big Island of Hawai’i to focus on immigration/migration, heritage tourism and Orientalist fantasies.
