While living in Hawaii from 1985 to 1992, William Horak worked as a field engineer
and performed geological reconnaissance throughout the islands.
Spending time in remote locations provided him the opportunity to explore, and he fell in love with Hawaii's culture, history, and geographic environment.
Returning to the Pacific Northwest, Horak realized that his genuine longing for the islands continued, and he felt the need to express it.
His interest in archival cartography, Hawaiian history and language, and the nostalgic artwork of the islands led him to the development of his unique Hawaiian maps.
His skilled work blends these various elements together, sharing his personal perspective with us.
William Horak now returns to Hawaii every year, spending time on Oahu's North Shore.
