About The Artwork

I was leading a whale photography expedition in Tonga, in 2018, when my captain put me in the water during a heat run. This is where as many as 20 male whales battle underwater for the right to mate with a female. I dropped in just in front of the approaching whales and this whale swam right up to me and paused to check me out. It was a moment I will never forget. This portrait received Best of Show in Art Maui 2020 and the Hawaii Foundation on Art and Culture purchased it. Bubbles is now on display in the state building in Honolulu. For a whale to pause to check me out during an action packed heat run is nothing short of incredible. We made eye contact just for a moment but the feeling and emotion will stay with me forever. I hope the viewer feels a sense of wonder and emotion. I selected metallic paper face mounted to artist acrylic with glare reduction. A die-bond backing with easy hanging hardware is included to insure highest quality production.

I live life with passion and am fortunate to have found two activities that give my life joy and purpose. I am an active diver and photographer and go to the sea at every opportunity. When not underwater, I can be found exploring the beaches and landscape of Hawaii. Over my career, I have worked as a dive instructor, photo pro, and expedition leader in Palau, Yap, Fiji, Tonga, Indonesia, and & Papua New Guinea. When not traveling, I lead photo workshops and create family portraits in Maui. Prior to Covid-19 I operated Koholā Gallery, which had locations in Kaanapali and Wailea. Limited and open edition prints of whales, marine life, seascapes, and landscapes we offered. Sharing images of nature, the sea, marine life, and whales with people that have experienced these things allows them to relive powerful emotion and memories. What is even more rewarding is the impact the images have on people who are unable to travel, dive, snorkel, or do strenuous hikes. Windows of the world are opened that would otherwise be closed and people are able to gain new appreciation and understanding of things beyond their personal experience.
