Words from the Artist
“I want people to stop for a moment and consider Hawaii's flowers with appreciation and wonder, especially those that are found only here in Hawaii.
These islands are so full of fragrance and beauty that comes from our flowers, yet many of our flowering trees and plants have become rare and some are even on the verge of extinction.
—Alan Akana
Alan Akana on local TV channel OC16: *Alan has been featured on "The Mokan Nokan Show," a brilliant show that is produced here on Kauai by friend of the gallery, Mel Bell-Grey!
Each episode of The Mokan Nokan Show is designed to motivate, educate and inspire children to learn while having fun and Alan was given the opportunity to talk about his book and his artwork on this terrific program. While geared for keiki, it's quite entertaining and educational for all ages. Check it out several days a week on channel OC16!
