Description

The roots of the native Hawaiian Taro plant is used to make poi, a staple of the ancient Hawaiian culture, and is often seen amidst Hawaii�s tropical foliage. Taro is believed to one of the earliest cultivated plants,spreading from Eastern India to the pacific islands. Today poi is still a popular local food here in Hawaii, and is often found at luaus and bar-b-ques.

�This taro plant, painted in 2014 using watercolor, was surrounded by tiny colorful leaves. I wanted to capture the details of the background and, as such, it took me many painstaking hours of working on this piece.�
