Awapuhi, 11x14 Matted Print
Art Print by Aloha de Mele
Why You’ll Love It
This piece features white awapuhi blooms set against a soft green backdrop, creating a calm and balanced composition. The gentle contrast between the crisp white flowers and the muted background gives the artwork a quiet, natural presence.
There’s a softness to the overall palette that feels easy and refined—subtle enough to blend into a space, yet distinct in its connection to Hawaiʻi’s native flora.
About the Artist
JT Ojerio, the artist behind Aloha de Mele, is a self-taught Native Hawaiian artist born and raised on Oʻahu. Much of her early life was focused on athletics, competing in wrestling and judo before pursuing higher education on the mainland, where she earned a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology along with a certificate in Pain Medicine.
In 2017, following a hip injury that required reconstructive surgery, JT found herself in a period of stillness far from home. During that time, she began drawing—creating images that reflected the Hawaiʻi she missed. What started as a way to pass time quickly became a meaningful creative outlet. Her work continues to reflect that sense of connection, capturing the feeling of aloha through thoughtful, understated compositions.
Inspired by Hawaiʻi’s beauty, culture, and people, each piece is created to make a statement, exude good energy, and share the aloha spirit. All prints are professionally produced in Honolulu.
