Dina Wood Kageler is a storyteller and adventurer who grew up in Texas and journeyed through islands of the Pacific in the early 1970s. Settling in Hawai`i, she has for many years been a respected visual, vocal and performing artist and arts educator. Today she lives on several acres of treefern and `Mhi`a forest in the uplands of the Island of Hawai`i with her botanist husband and two entrepreneurial adult children. Finding inspiration in true-life stories and from the rainforest around her, Dina writes, works with clay, mosaics, pen and ink, and creates hand-dyed textiles and quilts. She dances Hawaiian hula and plays the ukulele and slack key guitar in the Hawaiian style alongside some talented musician friends. She walks on K+lauea volcano, inspired to catch songs, find harmonies or chant into the wind. See less
