Item Description
Peggy Chun made a goal each day to create something beautiful.
At the height of her career as one of Hawaii's most beloved artists, Peggy was diagnosed with ALS in 2002. As her disease progressed, she lost the ability to paint with her hands, so she would use her mouth. Once she could no longer do that, she would use a computer program to read her eye movements.
Peggy never stopped painting and wrote on her website, "After all, you don't paint with your hands, you paint with your heart".
This piece is a snapshot in time, perhaps after a hukilau, where families would work together to catch fish with their 'upena (fish nets) to provide a delicious feast from the ocean as well as carry food or water in their Ipu Hawele.
Item Special Note
The dimensions of this framed piece is 16" x 13 1/2" x 1"
