Banyan Gallery — Attraction in Hawaii

Jelena is the owner. 30 year resident of Hilo and a Licensed Realtor. She is super creative artist her self. In fact the day before we met her she was in Kona learning how to weave fish traps. She is a weaver her self. A true artist at heart. As a local native Hawaiian my self (Oahu) I was happy to find a shop supporting local artist and our Hilo community. No made in China stuff here. If you want a tiki bar stuff (btw that theme is not Hawaiian and was invented in California in the 40’s and 50’s) or the Life is. Beach signs go to Target or Pei One but if you want art made by local artist go visit Banyan Gallery. They take electronic payments and ship bigger items. Located right next to Hilo Hawaiian Hotel Grand Naniloa (Double Tree) Hotel. And next to Liliuokalani Park right on Hilo Bay. Walk the park to get your steps in. So if you want true local art by local artist to create beautiful memories of your visit while sitting in your living room back home in the dead of winter - this is the place to bring back a heart warming...
