Haleiwa Art Walk

Aloha! I haven't blogged in awhile, took some time off for the holidays with family, caught up on some surfing and various projects but now it's time to get busy. I've been concentrating on my art, the next step...drop back by for the latest happenings in 2009!

Saturday night was another fun time at the Wyland Gallery Artwalk in Haleiwa. I enjoyed hanging out with my creative artist friends, gallery crew and some of the collectors. Always enjoy getting to know the people who drop by on the last Saturday evening each month. The Haleiwa Gallery is as laid back as the north shore; we had Heather Brown's bulldog puppy on a wild chase with Steve Power's sheltie! There was wine, beer and pupu's (snacks) and everyone had a great time.

Here is a sneek preview of the new art piece I was working on that night. It's a landscape ocean scene of the famous Waimea Bay which is known for its gigantic north shore surf in the winter months. But in the summer time, Waimea Bay is quite the opposite. I should have it completed soon so be sure to check out my website art gallery to view the finished work!

A Night On The North Shore...



Wyland Gallery in Haleiwa

The Wyland Galleries of Oahu have turned into a home away from home for my art work. Recently my family and I were in Haleiwa for an art open house and dinner at one of our favorite North Shore restaurants, Cholo's. I always enjoy spending time on the North Shore, drawing and interacting with locals and visitors; Haleiwa is such a laid back environment for an artist or anyone trying to escape the fast pace lifestyle of the cities. The Gallery is located in a small town square layout just as you enter Haleiwa. Here you will find local surf shops, a few restaurants, and boutiques that reflect the small surf town, country, vibe of the North Shore. Check out some pictures of our weekend in Haleiwa.
