Hiroki Morinoue
Hiroki Morinoue, an artist with no boundaries. He is an artist to follow, as his work is an ever evolving display of his talents. He holds no limitations to his expression of the encircling world of nature. He is a master of traditional Japanese print making and well versed in most forms of media. He consistently redefines his tools of creation as he explores untraditional sources of art material. His earlier works in the 70’s were modeled with watercolors, ink washes, and dry brush techniques. His more recent works explore the use of cement and pigments on wood. At the Inn we are proud to display his series of prints reflecting traditional Japanese printing with a flare of Henri Matisse and Picasso. You will find this series next to the fireplace. The other compositions displayed are created using pigmented spackle on wood following his ongoing theme of simplicity in nature. Hiroki Morinoue’s art can be found in galleries across America and Japan. His gallery, Studio 7 can be found in Holualoa next to Pauls Place. Hiroki was born in Hawaii and his studio was once his fathers pool hall. His gallery displays not only his own work but the talented works of his family. Studio 7 gallery- 808-324-1335 or morinoue@kona.net
Joel H. K. Nakila
Joel H. K. Nakila sculpts his art with his bare hands. He constructs his own clay using the earth of the islands to create a consistency that compliments the humidity of island air. Joel is a native of Hawai’i; his culture is expressed through his works of art. Each piece has its own story and unique relationship with the culture of Hawai’i. Joel started his major in two dimensional arts. When he took an elective in sculpting his passion was revealed in the complexity of a creation that has many sides, many angles. When he completes a sculpture it is shipped to a mainland foundry. Often he accompanies the piece to ensure each detail is captured in the final production. Currently being exhibited at Holualoa Inn is "Lawai’a Lamalama"- Torch Fisherman. The torch fisherman would catch only what was needed for his family, to take anything more from the ocean or the forest is considered kapu (forbidden). You can reach Joel at nakilaart@hawaii.rr.com

Today the shop is run by granddaughter Renee, they still weave lauhala boxes, mats, and place settings. The shop is full of a variety of island products and rich island history. They are located just down the street from Holualoa Inn. They can be reached at 808-324-0053.
Ipu Hale Gallery - Michael Harburg
In old Hawai'i on the island of Ni’ihau the people of the island created umeke pawehe, "decorated gourds". They created them for their own use, for trade with the other islands, and in the late 1800’s as souvenirs for the visiting sailors. At one time this was a lost technique, by trial and error and persistence Michael Harburg mastered the unique art form. He is currently exhibiting at Holualoa Inn. Michael offers guidance in the practice of this art, be sure to visit his gallery Ipu Hale at the top of Holualoa Town. You can reach Michael at ipuguy@yahoo.com or at 808-896-9081
