Description:

Ahhhhh.... can't you just imagine a perfect island breeze blowing in off the coast of Moana's island home of Motunui?  Renowned artist Daniel Arriaga, an award-winning veteran of Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios, invites you to get lost in his newest creation: a joyful and fun-loving tribute to Disney's Moana!

Although Motunui is a fictitious place, it is undoubtedly inspired by themes and imagery found in traditional Polynesian cultures.   Understandably, we can't help but to think of our friends, artists, colleagues, and fellow citizens who have been affected by the devastating wild fires in Maui, Hawaii.  To send Aloha to those in need as Hawaii responds to this tragedy, we will be donating a portion of the proceeds from each sale of this Moana screen-print edition to the ongoing relief effort in Maui.
