My First WWAO Exhibition!

WWAO (Worldwide Women Artists Online) is a wonderful group of women artists that I belong to! Once a month a fellow member hosts a "show" on their website or blog. This month Jean Hood is hosting the show with a theme of "flow". Please check out this amazing exhibit on Jean's website. She also featured my piece "Strolling Maha'ulepu" on her blog:

Kauai Society of Artists Show

I finally did it! I joined Kauai Society of Artists and entered my first juried show with them. (Thank you Schar!) All three pieces I entered made it into their Small Works Show (16"x16"x16" maximum).

The show runs through January 30, 2009 and can be viewed at Kukui Grove Exhibition Hall in Lihue, Kauai. The juror is Maile Andrade, an Associate Professor & Graduate Chair at Kamakakuokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies, University of Hawaii-Manoa, Honolulu, and mixed media artist. The show is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Fridays until 8 p.m.).

All three of my entries are 8"x10" framed to 11"x14" in a koa veneer frame and can be purchased at the show for $195.00 each.
