First Show of the Year!

Join us for the opening reception of Trip Around the Island on February 10th! This show will be on view at The ARTS at Marks Garage in Chinatown from February 7th to March 24th.

See the facebook event page here.

Curated by Sonny Ganaden, this show is based on the diverse areas of Oahu island. It features 30 pieces that were first printed with a lithograph image by Sonny, then passed on to 12 other artists to complete. We were given three prints to work on, representing Haleiwa, Turtle Bay, and Kahuku. We worked alternately in layers- I laid down some watercolor washes, Matt sketched, I filled in shapes with more color, Matt inked the black and added more details, then I finished off by stitching in some colored thread! Whew! It has been a fun process and we look forward to seeing what the other artists have done!

Here are two of the mixed media pieces in progress:



"Turtle Bay"



"Kahuku"
