"Ana Tzarev’s relationship with Hawaii began in 1989. Since then she has returned many times, fascinated by the island group’s exuberant local flora and rich cultural traditions. The passion she feels for the place and for Hawaii’s legendary hospitality comes across powerfully in her many vibrant studies of its flowers, costumes, customs and rhythmic hula dancing." - Belinda Thomson
