Alex Zarella is an artist by
nature and nurture. She believes that she is blessed to walk the
earth with the eyes and soul of an artist who was granted the
privilege to 'live' with a Mango Tree for one year.
Her photographs share with you what she learned from that
particular
tree.
Gary Phillips has
had a passion for photography his entire life, developed further by Navy travels
for 21 years. Realizing the American dream, he turned something he
loved to do into an occupation. Wedding and portrait photography
bring priceless joy, but being alone with nature and having the opportunity
to photograph our beautiful Islands is his true passion. “Is it a picture
or a painting?” is a question commonly asked by those who view his
images. The answer is yes to both as these are digitally mastered
photographs rendering the scenes into highly detailed, surrealistic works
of art suitable for displaying. They are archival and can be enjoyed for
generations.
Marion Speers will be showing
representative samples of her beautiful Stitched Art. Fabric creations such as:
"Carp Diem" using art textile materials to render an impression of the
changing textures and colors in a koi pond. Also "Bali
Pixels", where traditional Balinese batik is utilized in a thoroughly
postmodern context. Both have shown in the Honolulu Academy of Art
(Linekona) annual shows. Not all paintings are created with a
brush.
Alida Farlaino is
also back in the Courtyard. She is a Hawaii born, but world traveled,
photographer and artist who owns and operates her own small photography business
called Farlaino Foto out of Kailua. Her photography style is simple:
showing ordinary things, in extraordinary ways. She likes to shoot what
she actually saw, as she saw it and believes that her view of the world is just
different enough to keep her photography
interesting.
Last
minute additions are:
Shayne Turner will be
returning with her custom made jewelery and Stephanie Bolton will
be dropping in from the Big Island with her prints, cards, small paintings
and will be painting on site.
Kate Wagner will be providing
her Box dinners from the Starpoint CafО. She always has some
interesting pieces of art inside to view while you eat. Some of the
artwork is her own originals and some are contributed by her
friends.
Fred Gayagas returns to the
platform with his local style music. He invites you to join him as
audience or participant.
Enter into the
Chinatown Courtyard on Smith Street through the stand of bamboo at the Blue
Dragon Gate or from the Maunakea Street doors. This event is free and open
to the public.
