Several Hawaiian legends tell of Mokoli'i, a huge dragon slain by Hi'iaka, the sister of the powerful goddess Pele.  Hi'iaka, a goddess in her own right, set the creature's tail flukes into the waters off windward O'ahu as a landmark and left its body as a roadbed on shore.  The island formed by the creature's tail flukes bears its name, Mokoli'i.  Also known as Chinaman's Hat, Mokoli'i is now part of Kualoa Regional Park.

Works from "A New Discovery" are sold as limited edition fine art photographic prints.  Whether you are a first time or seasoned art collector, investor, or dealer, Kelly Fitzgerald and her Representatives give you the opportunity to acquire remarkable artwork that will appreciate over time and give you years of enjoyment.

This work was created by using an old manual SLR film camera and Kodak Professional High-Speed HIE Black-and-White Infrared Negative Film.  Sadly, the film is no longer being manufactured.  The traditional negative is scanned on a drum scanner to create a 300 megabyte digital file which serves as a vehicle for the tonal balancing, lighting, and darkening that was formerly done in the darkroom.  Once the aesthetic interpretation is realized in the computer and matched with the artist proof print created in the traditional "wet" darkroom, the image is then printed on silver gelatin archival fiber base paper.
