The Mendonca Building's unique Courtyard is open
again for First Friday and having a Christmas celebration!
Angela Mathieu's soft and realistic exceptional watercolor paintings jump to life and depict the tropical island lifestyle. She was born in Arbroath, Scotland and trained as a Physical Therapist in London. She first moved to Hawaii in the 1970’s and returned in the 1990’s when she had more time to appreciate the beauty and vibrancy of color in the islands. Angela made Hawaii her permanent home in 2000. Primarily a watercolorist, she has also worked in batik and oils and enjoys painting Island themes. She is a member of the Hawaii Watercolor Society and was their H.K. Holbein award recipient in 2005. Her works can be found in numerous galleries and shops around Oahu.

Sonya
Napoleon, returning to the Courtyard, was
born and raised in Australia. She moved to Hawaii in 2008 with her husband and
two children to be closer to her husband's family. She studied art and
graphics in high school in Melbourne, and although not formally trained, she
managed to produce her own range of greeting cards which she supplied to gift
shops and was the illustrator for a children's book called 'Cafe La Jungool' ,
published in 2005. Sonya is currently pursuing painting whilst raising her
two children and hopes to build up a collection with underwater themes
being the focus of her work.
Shayne
Turner, a repeat exhibitor at the Courtyard
demonstrates her creative talents, as she unveils “Grand Strands”
along with rings, earrings, and necklaces crafted from rare and exotic
gemstones. Having grown up on Oahu, her creations reveal her deep love for the
beauty and mystique of the Islands. Shayne has extensive knowledge of gemology
and freely shares with others information that she has gained from many hours of
research and study. Stop by and experience the harmonious blending of her
artistic expression with nature’s unique creations in an atmosphere filled
with colorful reflections. Shayne’s pieces are unique, one of a kind and
handmade.
Eric
Hannah is a retired Chemical Engineer with a
lifelong interest in photography. HannahPics was conceived in California as
WindowPics some years ago during a period of life readjustment and was put away
again in favor of employment until Eric retired about two years ago. The idea
has re-emerged as HannahPics, large framed transparencies, a form of
photographic “stained glass” and is still changing. The 2009 version
is the latest incarnation.
Dennis
Kline is a Honolulu artist who does large
acrylic paintings. Originally from Minneapolis, Kline lived many years in an
oftentimes frigid and bleak environment. The winter served as a blank white
canvas in his mind. It was this that inspired him to create large, bright,
colorful scenes. It was 2004 that Kline dedicated his life to his art. Since
then he has endeavored to maximize his skill and creativity in order to
captivate the viewer's imagination. His mission is to shock and amaze you with a
generous visual feast of shapes, colors and energy. Current works take the idea
of chaos in line and color and pairing them with themes in nature to create
artwork that is grounded as well as fantastic. See past works online at
www.DaPortfolio.com/160155
or see his work in person at the Courtyard, December 4th.
TAG

A professional photographer for 20 years, Heather
Titus, has studied in Hawaii both in community colleges and been mentored by
other professional photographers. Her photography has graced the covers of
Honolulu Magazine, Hawaiian Airlines and Aloha Airlines in-flight magazines and
used by the Hawaiian Visitors Bureau. She is well known, particularly on the
Windward side, for her two “coffee table” books, which she will have
for sale and signing in the Courtyard. She uses Hawaiian poetry and proverbs
to relate life with nature and enrich the reader’s spirit.
Kate
Wagner will be providing her Box
dinners from the Starpoint Café. She always has some interesting pieces
of art inside to view while you eat. Some artwork are her originals and some
are contributed by her friends.
