Maui Silk Artist ~ Melissa Verbena

Aloha Nui Loa!

What an incredible blessing to be able to live in paradise. I love Maui, and feel so blessed to be here. I paint to celebrate this beautiful island life, rendering my dreams and feelings on silk.

My path to art and island living began when I was a student of ancient architecture and old world healing on the Grecian Islands. While living in the Mediterranean I marveled at the ancients' ability to make beauty part of their everyday life.

My art comes from the ancient art of zen silk painting. I bring you these brilliantly colored silk designs to add beauty and spirit to your world.

For years, I've been producing silk paintings on the island of Maui in Hawai'i and selling my hand-painted silks in various art galleries and outdoor markets. Now, for the first time, I'm making prints of my artwork available online.

Mahalo for your interest. Drop me a note. I'd love to hear from you.
