I took classes from Linus Chao back in 1982 at Hawaii Community College. I gained so much inspiration from him, not only in artistic skills, but from his philosophical approach. He was amazingly fast too.
Aloha I lived in The Hilo/Puna districts from mid 80's to 2005. Some of the people featured in this program I've had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with at various events. Before I left Hawaii, I produced, video taped & edited an Arts program, which aired on local cable TV in Hilo. I worked out of the East Hawaii Cultural Center across from King Kalakawa Park. I also knew Henry Bianchini, the sculptor of the King's statue and his daughter, Allegra, who was one of my students at Waikea High School. Auntie G Girl, Uncle Robert, Kalapana Kaimu Black Sands beach before the 1990 flow wiped out the whole community and Beach, the Shipman beach, Puna, Pahoa, Some of these people have passed away. ❤❤So cool and heartwarming/heartbreaking to see again how life/people/nature was like on the Big Island in the 80's.I'll always have amazing and fond memories of my life there. I love and miss Hawaii. Aloha Nui Loa.❤
