Aloha Friends!

I am working on a new series of prints and I wanted to share some of my progress with you, from conception to completion. This is my "step by step" process! p.s. these prints and more will be in the at the Honolulu Printmakers Annual sale! Check it out!

First Step: Draw during all your meetings.

Second Step: Make a vector image (maybe add a background).

Step Three: Get yourself into the studio (this step is the hardest!).

Step Four: Instagram! (Don't lie, you all do it)

Step Five: Print and Print! Try new things!

Step Six: Mock up some tshirts for next time! (Check back for the final product!)

The Recycled Rain Project 2014

Aloha Friends!

I am pleased to say that I have been selected to be one of the artists participating in the Recycled Rain Project in Portland, OR! This will be the second year I have been involved with the Recycled Rain Project and I am stocked to be working with them again, even from a distance!

ABOUT THE PROJECT:

The Recycled Rain Project was founded to help bring awareness to local artists and the various water issues facing both our state and other’s abroad.

The Third Annual Recycled Rain Show will take place on May 10th 2014 at the Olympic Mills Gallery in Portland, Oregon. All juried artists will create original works with collected rainwater. While the subject matter in the paintings is varied, the over all concept is to bring to light simple ways that we can rethink the way we use water.

As part of the exhibit we will also highlight everyday things that individuals can do to make a difference. A portion of the sale of any works are donated to a water-based charity. We hope to do our small part to start a greater movement to help other’s realize what a precious commodity we have and ways that individuals can help make a difference here and abroad.

In our second cycle, we were able to add a children’s component to RR with the addition of RAINDROPS – a children’s gallery.  We are excited to say that we will be doing this again to help educate children on the environment and bring them closer to art!

This year we are excited to expand to add Featured Artists along with the Open Call portion of the show. These Featured artists are working artists in the Portland Area that have demonstrated a dedication to the environment as well as their profession.

Please visit their websites to learn more and get involved!

Totes Bag Design Ideas! Plus Giveaway Coming Soon!

Aloha Friends!

I have been working on some projects for work as a well as a few side freelance projects so life has been very busy (posts coming soon!)! As Kurt Vonnegut and the Bokonons would say "busy, busy, busy!" But still, through all the goings on I have been steadily working on some new ideas for Sunday Stingray. There are some amazing places around town to sell and showcase work by local crafters and artists and I want to be a part of it. I am sharing with you not my completed design but a sneak peek of some of the things I will be screening soon. I have a few tote bags and am going to jump on screening this next weekend, check back for a Sunday Stingray Give-away!

Check it out and tell me what you think!

I am enamored with all things Hawaii and Oregon so I'm sure my designs will show my love and support for these two amazing places. If you have a suggestion or feedback let me know your thoughts! Feel free to leave a comment below! I am always up for an artsy discussion!

New Facebook Page!

Aloha Friends!

I have been asked a lot over the past year if I have a Facebook fan page. Alas, I did not. My fine art and my new business are online but not on Facebook. Well after a long wait (for no other reason other than I am lazy) I finally caved and made a Facebook page for my new art adventure Sunday Stingray!

www.facebook.com/sundaystingray

Please feel free to "like," or follow or share or whatever you feel! I am happy to be able to connect to so many lovely people.

That's it! Updates are Sundays and Wednesdays, until then enjoy my photos from Oahu and Kao'olawe with the Sunday Stingray logo rough draft. (And now we return you to your regular scheduled programming) Mahalo!

Aloha Print Design!

I am so blessed to be able to live a life filled with Aloha! Living on Oahu I feel it everyday! I made this print (coming soon!) to compete my Hawaiian Days of the Week print series. The design in the background is inspired by traditional Hawaiian and Polynesian tattoo designs. The triangles symbolize mountains and shark's teeth and the Monstera Leaves are common ground plants (sky = mountains, plants = earth and sea = shark's teeth)!  

Aloha in every way, every day!

Mahalo Nui Loa for looking! And I hope today you get some Aloha of your own!
