Amber

Picture
The name Alohi Art means bright art in Hawaiian. My pictures are inspired by the wonderful creation God has made and my goal is to share His Joy.

I am a licensed teacher in North Carolina, and I live in New Bern, NC.
​I love sharing the joy of creating with my students.  

Psalms 40:16 But may the Joy of the Lord be given to everyone who loves him and his salvation. May they constantly exclaim "How Great God is!"

Jury Selected Work 

Apapane on Lehua 

Picture
My painting of Apapane on Lehua was selected in to the Malama Wao Akua 2011's annual juried art exhibition. Apapane are native to Hawaii, and rely on the Lehua for its nectar. They mainly live in native forests on Maui, and Kaua`i.


Jumping For Joy

Picture
My painting, Jumping for Joy, was selected into the Whale Foundation's juried art show in 2011. It also won a prize for the best in my age division. This painting is inspired by some of the whale watches I have been on.  Nobody knows why whales jump.  Some people think they do it for fun, but I think it’s because they’re so happy to return to Maui where they were born that they’re Jumping for Joy.

Flowery Meadow

Picture
This painting of Flowery Meadow was selected into to the Art Hui's juried gallery in 2011. I spent a lot of time on it. If you look closely you might see the grass path that goes from the bottom right corner to the top left. A lot of the plants in this picture are from my yard.
