'Aloha Liberty'

Spurred by the events of Sept. 11 and the fact that he worked as a medic in Vietnam, artist Kim Taylor Reece &#; known for his hula images in photos and posters &#; was moved to create a charitable poster, "Aloha Liberty," that celebrates the spirit of Hawai'i and America.

Famed hula photographer Kim Taylor Reece turns the lens on ...

"Aloha Liberty" depicts a hula dancer against the Statue of Liberty and the American flag.

"After much soul-searching I had a need to express my love for Hawai'i and our nation," said Reece. "What I want to say (with the composite images) is 'We are in this world together' and hopefully, share my feelings of community, strength and peace."

The hula model is Mandy; the composition is a variation of an earlier out-of-print poster.

Reece will provide signed copies of the new keepsake for an American Red Cross benefit from 9 to 11 p.m.
