Original Painting from Nicola Moss.

Ipo had been in the Maui Humane Society twice by the time Nichola Moss found him in 1994. His name means "the beloved" in Hawaiian. The early paintings of Ipo had names like "Ipo loves codependency", "Ipo left behind" (remnants of the pound experience), and "Ipo is Disgruntled with Self Realization". By 1998, Ipo made his way into many galleries throughout the mainland and appeared on calendars and day books found in many large book stores, including Barnes and Noble. Meant to be a situation, Ipo's elegance and interestingly concerned consciousness became a rich source for the artist's imagination.
