"Aloha to Pele"
by Clint Sloan

Clint Sloan captures the magic and beauty of the Hawaiian Islands on canvas. Experience the breath-taking works of art that Sloan has been able to capture through his imagination and experiences in the tropical islands we call paradise.

Sloan creates a tropical fantasy with subjects ranging from fiery volcanoes to peaceful landscapes filled with misted rainbows and waterfalls. The painting on the cover is available as a limited edition giclee on canvas and can be collected at his gallery in downtown Kona and at his studio located in the Keauhou Shopping Center.
