Summary

Artist Roam created two hand-painted maps of Hawaiʻi: a 1,500-mile archipelago and the eight main Hawaiian Islands. The maps were made using watercolor, Copic marker, and Adobe Fresco.

Why it matters

The maps are significant because they depict the entire Hawaiian Islands archipelago and the eight main islands in greater detail than existing online maps.
