Aloha, My name is Rick kealoha Pa, and I am a Hawaiian artist living and painting my wood creations, here on Molokai,Hawaii. I work with a style of batiks, which are done on wood. I use various types of wood to achieve various color tones, in my art. This technique,works well with wall art, as well as furniture accents. I have tried to inject my work into as many aspects of art as possible,,from table tops, cabinet doors, musical instruments, bar fronts, etc… I picked up this art form in asia over 20 years ago,and have done nothing else since then

I use procion dyes, like you would use water colors… The key to this style of batik, is the resist that I use on the wood. Unlike wax, which is removed, my resist remains on the wood. This style of batiks, require the artist to also be a woodworker, due to the woodworker talents, needed to complete each art piece.
