Dominic Baitoo Riolo holds a B.A. in Studio Art and a B.S. in Biological Sciences, combining his interests in the arts and sciences with a Master in Landscape Architecture from Harvard University. There, he received a global education on the most beautiful, impactful, and enduring landscapes of human history. His goal is to produce work here in Hawaiʻi nei that rivals that of the immensity of the French Chateau (where he worked upon graduation from Harvard) and the intimacy and meticulousness of the Japanese Zen garden. Ultimately, however, he always looks first to the legacy left by the countless hands and hearts here on these islands, from the stone heaiu foundations to the mala of the ahupuaʻa, in his mission to make the most beautiful, reverent, responsible, and resilient landscapes & sculptures for, by, and of Hawaiʻi.
