His mother met and married an American GI during the occupation of Germany, and she and Varez went with him to Hawaii after the his tour of duty ended. In 1968, he moved to Volcano, built a cabin, and began tending bar at Volcano House. He also made wood carvings of Pele. The carvings, cut from firewood, sold well enough to encourage his career as an artist. But a big breakthrough happened when he rolled one of those carvings in ink, pressed it against paper and made his first print. He took some prints to Volcano Art Center, and when they sold, he was encouraged to make and sell more. Published in Volcano by The Magic Mo, “Pele the Volcano Goddess” is available at the Hawaii Pacific Parks stores inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Basically Books in Hilo, The Harbor Gallery in Kawaihae, Kokee Museum on Kauai and online.
