Our Makana originate from the soul; a delicate place where only love abides. 

When expressing gratitude for a kindness, our instincts carry us to the mountains where fern and flowers are scented with rain. This gathering, though unseen and quiet, is also the gift... our thoughts only of the recipient. 

So is it with the weaving of a lei, the shaping of a bowl, the rythmic beating of tapa, or the silent planting of a shoot. Penny Bauer’s photographs have captured the simplicity and beauty of these Hawaiian gifts. She has created moments of wonder that become enchanting offerings; personal and meaningful. 

Come feel the pulse of tradition in the stirring ‘oli, chants of Kumu Poni Kamau’u, hear the wafting sounds of ancient instruments, see gentle hands holding gifts of time.
