Minoʻaka, which means "smile" in
ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, is combination of JT's love for portraits and flowers. The original untitled portrait was one of her first drawings back in 2018 but never made it to print until 2025 after being combined with the outline of another one of her hibiscus drawings. Minoʻaka is a sassy ode to the "smize" aka smile with your eyes and not your mouth craze from the early 2000s.
Digital illustration hand drawn by JT Ojerio, the artist behind Aloha de Mele. Inspired by Hawaii's beauty, culture, and people, each art piece was created to make a statement, exude good vibes, and spread the aloha spirit. All prints are professionally printed in Honolulu, Hawai'i.
Matted Prints
Matted Prints are giclée prints produced with archival inks on cold-press, acid-free paper to ensure print permanence. All matted prints include an archival front mat and back mat so they are ready to frame. To fit standard sizing and allow for easy framing, slight cropping from the original may occur.
Loose Prints
Loose Prints are giclée prints produced with archival inks on cold-press, acid free paper to ensure print permanence. Loose prints will be rolled up and shipped in a tube. We highly recommend taking your fine art giclée to your local framer to be professionally framed.
Canvas Prints
Our canvas prints have a satin finish and use high quality, pigmented archival inks on museum-quality, lightweight canvas to provide rich color depth. All canvas prints are 7/8" deep ready to hang with wire on the back.
