Hale'iwa Art Festival

This weekend, July 21 & 22, is the 15th annual Hale'iwa Arts Festival. I was honoured to be one of the artists there last summer, and you can bet I'm wishing I was there again this weekend! It is such an incredible event, attracting thousands of art fans, locals, and tourists from the island. If you're on Oahu this weekend, be sure to check it out and visit some of my favourite artists- Christie Shinn, Clark Takashima, and Heather Brown to name a few of many!

In honour of my Hawaiian-style work adventure last summer, I've created two paintings inspired by photos I took while I was there, and plan to build on this series entitled Ocean Playground...
