Art Print by Aloha de Mele
Why You’ll Love It
This piece features a seven-strand crown flower lei in soft lavender tones, set against a matching lavender backdrop. The monochromatic palette creates a sense of cohesion and calm, allowing the form and fullness of the lei to take center stage.
There’s a quiet richness to the layered strands—structured yet fluid, with a softness that feels both elegant and grounded. The composition is simple, but the presence is unmistakable.
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.
