Petra Nohealani was born in Germany and raised in Hawaii, where she grew up surrounded by incredible beauty, loving people, and magical light.
After working as a film actress, with parts on the original Hawaii Five-0 and Magnum P.I., she moved to southern California.
Becoming a photographer, Petra eventually opened her own photo studio in Riverside and had a thriving business there.
In October 2008, her heart called her back to Hawaii, and she has now made Maui her home.
Petra feels that Maui is one of the most awe-inspiring places to continue her artistic life’s quest, and she aims to keep creating beauty of all kinds, through her camera and from her heart.
