Born and raised in Kahaluʻu, Oʻahu, Brook Kapukuniahi Parker is a direct descendant of John Palmer Parker and a great-great-grandson of Kamehameha the Great. With no formal art school training, Brook learned from his father—a gifted self-taught artist and Hawaiian historian—and from a lifetime of deep study into the genealogical lines of Hawaiʻi's greatest chiefs and warriors.
