Welcome to the Fountain Gallery at the Wailoa Center!

     My father - one of the finest artists I know,  is standing with me by the Laka altar, critiquing my work.

The altar to Laka, partron diety of hula, 
includes la`i, maile, pala`a, `ie`ie 
and other special plants. 
Laka granted Hi`iaka and Hopoe the ability to dance hula.
That is why we place our skirts, lei, and kupe`e on it.

     Storyteller at work!

     Keoki Kahumoku, friend, storyteller, musician, dad, hunter, farmer, teacher - a man of MANY talents!

     And he plays Ka Uluwehi o ke Kai really well, too!

     And here we make Michel dance My Yellow Ginger Lei.

Kahalelaukoa Ell also shot photos of the reception.

A wonderful time was had by all. Mahalo nui loa to all those who offered their kokua. A hui hou!
