Aloha everyone! Most frequent visitors to my site have asked me for prints. And here it is, uhmm finally. This is 1 of 2 in the series tracking the legendary Goddess, Pele.

All prints are 12" x 12," printed on fine archival paper, color corrected by me, signed, and numbered in edition of 25 all in red.
