This item is an original 9.25" x 11.25" oil painting on canvas by local artist Sandra "Sandy" Ambrose. The artist has captured a wonderful view just before sunrise along the Na Pali coast and into the far distance. The land and roiling sea remain shadowed as the sun illuminates the clouds from below the horizon and the windblown trees anxiously wait to intercept the first rays of the sun. The brushwork creates the illusion of the wild nature of this part of Kauai's remote coast and the beauty that can be found there. This piece of fine art will grace a prominent spot on your wall and remind you of the many wonders of our island in the Pacific.

There are so many wonderful people on Kauai who volunteer their talents for good causes. Just look at Sandra “Sandy” Ambrose. For years, Sandy has been donating her wonderful oil paintings of Kauai scenery to the Lawai International Center online auction, helping to support our mission. Each piece of her painted art is unique and represents the beauty that is Kaua’i. We are so grateful for Sandy’s talent and generosity.

Sandy has also been volunteering with Habitat for Humanity for years, but you won’t find her with a hammer in hand at the job site. Where you will find her is in the studio with a paintbrush in hand creating beautiful artwork for their homeowners. Sandy presents a one-of-a-kind oil painting to every Kaua’i Habitat for Humanity homebuyer as they receive the keys to their brand new home. It’s an amazing act of generosity, and the homebuyers are truly touched by the amount of love and care that is displayed with every brush stroke.

Sandy is just one more example of how volunteer artists make a tremendous impact on our wonderful island community.
