You wouldn't know this place is actually called "Aloha Images" - which is quite a boring name. The…read moresign outside says "A Candy Store For Art Lovers", and is probably a better name for the laid-back Hawaiian art gallery within. I like art and always like to check out galleries when I am traveling. Bustling Kapaa is only good enough for a pit stop between the north and south shores in my opinion, so I was surprised to find a gallery here when strolling around looking for something to eat. The gallery has some beautiful Koi Fish paintings, which are probably the main attraction. The artist of most of them, Seamus, was in the store both times I went in there (and I got the impression he is there a lot) in case you have questions for him. I'm not into Koi although I know a lot of people are for the symbolism, but the Koi paintings (and other ocean/water themed works) are vivid in color and worth checking out if passing by. If you are into fantasy-type ocean scene paintings, the ones in this shop are on par with Wyland and much more reasonable in price! I'm not into Koi or fantasy-art, and ended up going for an abstract piece that resembled waterfalls, painted in blues/greens with gold leaf, on a piece of birch wood. Very beautiful and changes with the lighting. The store curator, Ray, is a flexible on price and delivery methods. I left feeling like I paid handsomely for the art, but I got a deal.

I have been coming to Kauai for over 20 years and the North Shore in particular holds a very…read morespecial place in my heart. It's my happy place and some of my happiest memories are of being here with my family. Over the last 4-5 trips I have started skipping the touristy draws and trying to really immerse myself in the culture and community (farmers markets, kappa street party, picking avocados off trees outside the parking lot in hanalei, getting lost on random roads and exploring some of the less traveled towns). On my last trip to Kauai I caught wind of an art night down in Hanapepee. I had only been to this cute little town once the year before in search a pharmacy, but couldn't help but notice Georgios Art Gallery. He had a particular tree painting outside on display that literally jumped off the canvas. We wandered around the rooms admiring his works. Stunning. I've never been much of an art person and oil paintings in particular haven't really interested me much. The way Georgio paints is so unique. It's different than anything else I've ever seen. In our first trip to Georgio's we didn't buy anything as we somewhat nauseous from our ride down from the canyon (although we regretted it) but were excited to stop in on him for the Art Night (sans a trip to Waimea this time). We walked in and were immediately greeted by Georgio himself. He offered us some wine and we were immediately drawn to the bold colors and textures once again. Then we saw it. It was an elephant (that I'll also post on here) and were pulled into the painting. It was probably one of the most amazing paintings we had ever seen. So, minutes later we were finalizing the sale with Georgio. As we continued to walk around the art night to different galleries we kept on reflecting on how great HIS art was. So we went back. After falling for many other pieces the major display piece (which was already framed and matted with different colors of blue silk) spoke to my soul. It brought me back to my first trip to Kauai sitting in the back of my parents convertible with my younger sister (who has since passed away) looking up at a million stars, hearing the roar of crashing waves, smelling the ocean, and watching the white caps of the waves coming into shore. The memory was cemented into my brain and Georgio caught that memory for me. It is a starry night shot of the north shore (which I will also post). Hands down Georgio's art is the best in all of Kauai and we feel so lucky to have a couple amazing pieces in our home all the way across the country in Boston. He shipped them to us for free in homemade custom wooden boxes! The amount of compliments we have received on both pieces in just a matter of a few months says it all. You can also tell how much time and effort goes into the details. (I'm still noticing details in Starry Night I hadn't noticed before). Georgio was talking about moving his gallery in the near future... All I have to say is make sure we can find you later this year! We have some open walls!

We recently got married so loved the idea of getting it customized. Best of all, we were able to ship our order altogether with our other purchases when the customized plaque would be ready to ship.

It shipped within a week, very fast! We will cherish our memories of Hawaii and be reminded of that each time we read the blessing.

There is a small enclave of art galleries and shops in Hanapepe where you can find graphics, ceramics, jewelry, and objets d'art. Lee Scott's photo gallery is unique and different. His images are stunning, and many are incredible, even more so when you learn how he made them. His images of Kaua'i are breathtaking, but his most captivating images are of animal life from his travels all over the world, especially Africa. A favorite subject is wild animals, particularly cats. Whether you photograph people or animals, it's how you make eye contact with the subject that makes a great photograph, and Lee is a master. Lee is usually in the shop when he isn't on safari or in some other exotic location. He is a fascinating person, very open, friendly, and cordial. He shared his artistic vision and some of his methods and techniques with me for which I am appreciative. Don't miss an opportunity to visit this gallery.
