A Piece of Hawaii
A genuine piece of the islands, award winning fiber artist Shelley Hoist's creations bring the warmth and textures of the islands into your home, office and life.
She begins with the sheath of a naturally fallen palm leaf that can be up to 10' long. After soaking, she carefully hand stitches her sculpted form and the dance continues as the drying process contracts the natural fibers and the new form emerges. Different colors are achieved by using different varieties of palms. There are no duplicates as she gives new life to raw material. Each piece is signed, numbered and completed with a durable finish.
Her desire is for her intentional artwork and lifestyle accessories to strengthen our connection to the natural world.
Standing Vessels
Our standing palm sheath vessels range from small to tall, singular to groupings. Some tell a story, others are inspirational, but all are one of a kind pieces that bring the warmth of the islands into any room or decor.
Basketry
Our baskets are all made from one single palm sheath, harvested from giant, natural fallen palm leaves. Some are utilitarian, but all can serve as stand alone art objects.
Wall Vessels & Sculptures
Our wall vessels and sculptures add interest and texture to any room or decor. Whether used solo, or as a powerful grouping, they enhance existing two dimensional wall art, and draw the eye up, expanding a space.
Art for the Body
Shelley's series of wearable art includes statement necklaces, earrings, hats, along with purses and totes. Wonderful gift items for a special person or yourself!
