The suMMer is opening a breathe of bright roots riPE art to fiLL ouR saiLs with 'yes we ART.' The abstract and cartoon styles meet on the waLLs. Loren SHaw's work illustrates an open mind and refined technique with enormous abstract works. He is complemented by Kona Surento's works animating an unknown lil' alien character. New on the music stage is reggae rOOTs band 'STONGHOLD.' We will skank with their irie vibes. Taimane Gardner is back from her tour of Japan to front a new musical collaboration: TaiPHonIX. Plus Quadraphonix, circus friends Loco-MOco, n' SteVO-the-CLown. We have a poet and another music thing we can not tell you about right..oh and See is back from Costa Rica, and DJ JOULZ is stiLL in Chinatown...so bless the bliss and wake the nest of love and light..
Visual ART
FEAUTURE ARTIST: Loren Hoopiiaina Shaw grew up in Vancouver Washington, attended the Vancouver School of Arts and Academics, Clark College and recently graduated from the University of Hawaii Manoa where he studied, graphic design, painting, drawing, and screen-printing.
I have always loved art. I grew up at the art table instead of playing video games and watching TV.
Loren is a graphic designer, working professionally for six years, his work on canvas can be found on display in countries around the world. Loren also has a deep passion of performance painting. He toured the west coast and continues to perform with bands in venues throughout Hawaii.

EMERGING ARTIST: ALEKONA SURENTO was born in Honolulu, Hawaii and raised in new York. Her father is a master airbrush artist and gave her her first pencil when she was 4. She always loved looking at cartoons so around the age of 16 she began to draw them. Her lil' caRToon character just happened one day about 8 years ago and in the last two years has taken on a life of his own.
He has yet to acquire a name, he seems more extraterrestrial than anything to me. These paintings are my attempts at finding him a good nitch or groove to exist in.
