Quote from the artist: "Somewhere in between dreams and memories ancestors gather. 

The word "gods" is a misnomer when referring to Hawaii and its traditional beliefs.  The intended meaning is closer to honored ancestor than “god”.  Hawaiians saw themselves and those who came before them in nature.  When one transitioned from this life to the next, they were honored. They live on in the environment in a breeze in a specific animal, plant or cloud.  They live on in places and works left behind."

Bio:  Born in Hawai’i, raised both on Lāna’i and in California, Travis Turqueza is a multimedia artist, part time teacher/farmer, and full time creator. Art has always been part of his life--he is inspired by artists like Herb Kane, Solomon Enos and Rocky Jensen, and Frank Frazetta--and a love and appreciation of Hawai’i, its culture and history.

"No matter what medium I work with paint, digital, photography, etc., I hope my art inspires connection to place, people, a feeling. I hope to inspire with my art the way art inspired me.  I hope it encourages other people to find their own connection."
