Local Kauai Floral Art
Living on Kauai for over twenty years has made artist Helen Iannone Turner a believer in the
power of color. The fantastic abundance of tropical blossoms, verdant greens of sugar
cane fields and mountains, waterfalls and the Pacific blue are the everyday for her.
Helen has been an artist all her life, and pastels are the most recent addition to her
passions. "I find pastels so satisfying to paint with, the colors are exquisite and I love
to work them with my fingers."
Helen has pastels from 5x7 to 20x26, and she will also do commission work from photographs
or specimens.
"My intention in doing flowers is not to reproduce a botanical likeness, but to explode the
amazing design of God's creation in an almost abstract perspective, I call it the TOO CLOSE
attraction."
These paintings are available as giclees and Ultrachrome prints. Please
inquire to find out more about a painting.

Duet and Solo
Guitar and Flute
Classical and Jazz
Wedding Ceremonies
In the tropics, there is a sound that comes in the tradewinds like a birdsong, a wave
breaking, it comes from the thick, sweet air all around peace and harmony, it is natural
music. The silver flute, the exotic wood guitar blend together as effortlessly as the moon
and the tide.
Whoa, I'm freaking myself out . This is jazz, smooth and funky like you like it.
Helen Turner really knows her way around a flute, she is a serious musician and it shows
in her playing. Let's talk about latin grooves, be-bop and swing, and don't forget the
very best of classic pop and soul, Easy Living does it all. Jeff Iglesia is a solid guitar
player excelling in every kind of genre, especially jazz. These two musicians make up a
truly one-of-a-kind duet that bring new meaning to the phrase "smooth jazz". Take a listen
to the samples and see for yourself.
For those of you out there getting married, Helen and Jeff play a classical repertoire, and
Helen also plays solo flute ceremonies. See the
sample play lists for duet classical, duet
pop, duet jazz, and solo classical.
