In recent times, the Tibetan carpet-weaving industry has moved to Kathmandu in Nepal and Dharmasala in India (at the foot of the Himalayan Range) with the forced diaspora of the Tibetan people.

The carpets that are in the Hana Coast Gallery collection were designed by Carla Crow and then custom woven by Tibetan master weavers who have been passing their highly skilled craft down through many generations.

Tibetan sheep, wild and hardy, freely roam the Tibetan plateau at elevations higher than 14,000 feet. Their wool is not commercially processed, but rather it is carded and made into wool yarn all by hand. The fibers are long and strong and there is a very high lanolin content. Thus, cleaning is easy.

Because Tibetan wool is one of the finest, most durable wool in the world, these rugs are supposed to last at least three generations. These rugs will withstand punctures, mold and shedding. Care is taken that only fade-resistant dyes are used.

High quality hand-knotted 100 knot count Tibetan rugs do not pack down, flatten or become shiny when they are repeatedly walked on. They age beautifully, becoming richer with time; thus, they are a wonderful addition to any heirloom collection of decorative art.

Carla Crow has earned statewide and regional recognition for her unique personal vision expressed mostly through acrylic on bark paper. A wide array of her images are also captured on Giclee prints using archival papers. Her continuing experiments in this media are prompted by her research into Hawaiian and Polynesian art and traditions.

Born in Chicago in 1946, art has always been an influence in Carla Crows life. The artist has traveled extensively through Europe and across the mainland. She studied painting and jewelry making, and then later took up photography while managing an art gallery in Kansas.

Some of Carla Crow's original paintings were selected by the Hotel Hana-Maui to be used as the matrix for a very limited edition of Giclee prints to decorate the guest suites. If you would like to see these prints, click below:

Collector's Valuation Portfolio
For Collectors of Carla Crow's Original Artwork.

A Certified Certificate of Authenticity, Insurance Valuation, Bill of Sale and Biography of the artist accompanies every work of original artwork by Carla Crow.

We also regiister your piece with the National Fine Art Title Registry to document your acquisition. Most insurance companies will not pay the current value of your artwork, but an amount closer to the cost of raw materials unless you could prove the higher value. Yet the disaster that took your art could easily claim your receipts or other documentation as well. When you register your fine art with National Fine Arts Title Registry, your asset records, which document value and ownership, remain safe and available by your own unique password from any computer to permanently capture details for provenance, estate planning and asset statements.

The registration is our gift to you on Carla's behalf, as a way of thanking you for collecting some of her unqiue artwork.

This kind of information is usually required both for insurance purposes and for reappraisals dictated by increased market values. You will find that this is an approach to Wealth Management Documentation that has been typically available to only select, high-net-worth individual collectors. We, however, feel that ALL of our clients deserve to be treated with this level of service, thus our Collector's Portfolio. (Your CPA will love this investment-grade data.)
