Art

Last year I spent time on the island of Maui in January with my Mother. Maui is a lovely island, with lots of interesting things to do. A couple times we went into Lahaina and wandered the art galleries and shops. The works of a couple artists really stayed with me, but at the time I was just taking it all in so didn't get the names. This year I have been lucky enough to join Mom again, and this time I'm making sure to get the names of these artists that have struck a chord in my soul.

The one who struck me the most was Leohone Magno. I do not have words to properly describe what her paintings evoke in me, but when I try to describe them to others I cry because they are so beautiful and the images resonate in my soul.
