| A multi-talented artist, Hummingbird first had a career in the performing arts a soloist dancer in Napua StevensÕ Polynesian Review using the stage name, Kiahi Manu. While living in Kailua, Kona, Hawaii, the inspiration and urge to paint resulted in the series of plein-air watercolors of Hawaii and Oahi Islands. When Kilawea erupted and flowed into the Pacific, Pele the fire-goddess became a powerful new inspiration for a new series of oil paintings still in progress. |
