Taropatch

The Taro Patch House is located on the island of Kauaʻi in the Hawaiian Island Chain. Its creator was raised on Kauaʻi and opened The Taro Patch House and Black Dog Gallery and Goods to celebrate the history, culture and art of Hawaiʻiʻs cultural melting pot. Kirstenʻs artwork is inspired by memories of sunny days spent on Kauaʻi and can be purchased through Society6 or in person on Kauaʻi - she would love for you to visit. She lives a quiet life with black dog Gracie, and Charlotte the three legged cat. The inspiration for The Taro Patch house follows in Kirstenʻs own words.

Growing up there was a field of lo’i (taro patches) by our house, at the end of the path between patches was a hale (house). In this case it was mostly a shack, but we called it the Taro Patch House. I spent hours daydreaming about that little house and wondering what treasures were waiting to be discovered inside. Shells, glass fishing balls, lei hung on lampshades after celebrating weddings, babies and lives. Books with torn dust jackets, turned down corners, notes written in the margins. Photographs tucked into the frames of seascapes and portraits. A closet filled with mu’umu’u handed down through generations. Fresh coffee in the kitchen, a well-loved coffee mug warm to the touch. Stacks of mismatched plates from aunties and tutu (grandma). All filled with memories of days spent together tending the land, enjoying sunshine, waves, and rainbows.
