Description

Pele is the goddess of fire, lighnting, and volcanoes in Hawaiian mythology. She is sometimes called Madame Pele, Tutu (Grandmother) Pele, or Ka wahine ‘ai honua, the earth-eating woman. According to Hawaiian legend, Pele is the creator of the Hawaiian Islands. There are lots of stories about her temper and jealous outbursts. She fought with her elder sister Namakaokaha'i, the water goddess, whose husband Pele had seduced.

Here is another tale about our fiery Goddess. Pele was married for a short and violent time to Kamapuaa, the god of water. This story says that Pele rerouted Kamapuaa from their home in Helemaumau and angrily chased him, with rivers of lava, into the Pacific Ocean. 

NOTE; This painting, along with my entire inventory and art studio, was destroyed in the Lahaina fire on August 8th, 2023.
