In the spring of 1969, the tree houses that sprung up on a rural plot of land on Kauai emerged as a safe zone for those in search of perfect surf and “good vibes” in world gone crazy. Rising on the stone terraces of an ancient Hawaiian village at the mouth of Limahuli Stream, Taylor Camp may not have heralded the Age of Aquarius, but many of Kauai’s young visitors from around the globe who arrived in the late 1960s and 70s, remember the tree house community as “the best days of their lives.”
Rejecting the values of their parents, then re-inventing them with long hair, marijuana, and a vegetarian, “clothing-optional” lifestyle, the flower-power campers developed a whimsical experiment, ostensibly living a back-to-the-land ethos of fishing and farming, while actually propped up with food stamps and welfare.

PHOTO PRINTS
Prints are on Hahnemuhle heavyweight (315 gsm) 100% archival cotton “Photo Rag Baryta” paper, using archival inks and archival spray coating. They have a 200-year life expectancy before any deterioration of the print will be observed when stored, handled, and displayed under archival conditions.
CANVAS PRINTS
What is often called “Gallery Wrap Canvas” is a fine art inkjet (Giclee) print on canvas, with printed edges to wrap around a wooden stretcher frame, like a painting. With canvas prints, your print image is still the same size, but given a "wrap effect" around the edges to account for the thickness of the stretcher. Canvas can be rolled and shipped with no effect to the print. Your local framing shop should be able to mount the canvas to stretchers at a fraction of the cost of traditional framing, making for an overall more economical way to get fine art on your wall. The canvas is printed to wrap around a 1-inch stretcher (1.5 inches on larger sizes). Specifications will be provided with your order. Feel free to contact us if you need guidance with your canvas order.
