| From the exciting and dazzling dancers to the beautiful children and ethnic cultures that inhabit these islands, the works of Alfred Furtado capture vivid memories of Hawaii’s people. A working artist, teacher and lecturer for over 40 years, Furtado’s fine artwork has been acknowledged through private showings and sales for homes, hotels and other commercial institutions, as well as to private collectors internationally. For those who live here, the paintings bring forth memories of family. For those who were island born and moved away, they are nostalgia. For visitors to the islands fortunate enough to have met local people and enjoy being a part of the culture, the art is a fond remembrance of a unique experience. These well loved images of `The Keiki’s Dance Class’ and `Shave Ice’ have been expertly reproduced in a fine assortment of handbags and small leather goods by ICON, and are available exclusively at Sandal Tree. |
