About the Pue’o:
The Pue’o, or short-eared Hawaiian owl, holds a special place in Hawaiian culture as an ‘aumakua, or family guardian spirit. Mostly nocturnal, these owls are known for their soft, melodic calls and their role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. Unlike many owl species, Pue’o also hunt during the day, soaring over the fields in search of prey. Nelson, inspired by the frequent visits of these auspicious birds to his Upcountry Maui studio, immortalized their beauty in this stunning work of art.
