THE WORK
Wailea Ti is Erin Sabado’s watercolor of the same plant that sits outside the south Maui hotels and the family gallery in Wailea Village. He paints color first. The form is the plant as it stands in the heat, not a diagram of one.
Erin grew up in a working studio in Haiku. His father, Philip, is the Molokaʻi painter. Erin’s own work is the contemporary botanicals: ti, ʻōhiʻa, ginger, wiliwili. This one belongs over a kitchen island, a dining table, or any tall quiet wall.
