Hokule'a Giclee on Canvas or Metal Print
Hokule'a giclee is reproduced from an original painting by Hawaii artist Thomas Deir. Each reproduction is unique with hand-painted embellishments and signed by the artist. The meaning of Hokule'a is "Star of Gladness," and Hokule'a is the name of the Voyaging Society's inaugural voyaging canoe, which made its first journey to Tahiti, navigating solely by stars, in 1976. The stars show the northern sky, with the Big Dipper straight up, and the Little Dipper below with the North Star shining brightly between the masts of the Hokule'a.
Thomas will personalize the back of the artwork at no charge. (Some ideas for a personalized message: "Aloha from Hawaii, Michelle," or "Happy Birthday, Michelle," or any message you prefer.)

Giclée (pronounced zhee-clay) prints are high-quality fine art reproductions of original artwork that are made using inkjet printing technology and are often used by artists, galleries, and museums. Giclée prints are known for their exceptional color accuracy, resolution, and longevity. They are made using archival-quality inks and varnished with a UV-resistant coating, which means these prints can last for decades without fading or deteriorating, unless placed in direct sunlight, which will accelerate the deterioration process. Giclée prints on canvas match the look and feel of the original oil painting. Thomas hand-paints highlights and puts his silver metallic signature in the bottom corner. Gallery Wraps (GW) are available only for Giclee on canvas. Please see the *GW size and price listed on this Giclee print product page. |
Metal aluminum prints are a stunning way to display artwork. The high-gloss finish makes the colors so intense that they have a magical luminescence, which makes them stand out from canvas giclée prints. The process involves infusing dye directly into specially coated aluminum sheets, resulting in durable prints that are both scratch-resistant and waterproof. These prints are also easy to clean with a soft microfiber cloth and glass cleaner, making them ideal for commercial or home use. The great advantages of metal aluminum art prints are their durability and longevity. They will last for decades and can be used outdoors and in bathrooms where there is sunlight and high moisture. THERE ARE NO GW FOR METAL PRINTS.
