The Mendonca Building's unique Courtyard is

new artist studio Lofts that have been added upstairs. HAPA is
still accepting applications for tenancy.
We are honored to show the work of Hanna
Polak in April. She is an award-winning director, producer,
cinematographer, and photographer. Born in Poland, she studied acting and
theatre at the Acting School in Wroclav and Warsaw. In 2002, she was awarded
Best Producer of Documentary and Short Fiction Movies at the International Film
Festival in Krakow, Poland for Railway Station Ballad. In 2004, she
completed work on The Children of Leningradsky in collaboration with
HBO. The Children of Leningradsky received many awards internationally,
including an Oscar nomination, an International Documentary Association Award
for Best Documentary, two Emmy nominations, and the Gracie Allen Award, given by
Women in Radio and Television. At the request of UNICEF, she recently wrote an
article on the subject of child homelessness for UNICEF’s publication
covering the twentieth anniversary of the Declaration of the Right of the Child.
Her photography has been greatly instrumental in helping the children of Russia.
She has been involved with the charitable organization Active Child Aid in
Moscow. The mission of Active Child Aid is to help homeless children believe in
themselves, their future, and regain the human dignity.
Lynne Boyer returns and says:
«Sometimes I really like to show all the details in a scene. Other times I
choose to leave out certain details and let the brush strokes, application of
the paint and values do all the work. I feel that when I look at a painting,
saying more with less, usually creates a much stronger painting. It's an
endless learning process, so I am never bored!» She paints natural scenes
with oil on canvas. She was born with a keen interest in visual arts and
started drawing and painting at an early age. Lynne grew up on Oahu and became
a World Champion surfer winning the titles in 1978 & 1979, even though her
interest in the arts never waned. Although a primarily self-taught artist, she
has taken a number of university art courses and participated in various
workshops lead by established artists. Her experience and talent in fine art,
as well as her familiarity with the ocean and her love of nature, give her
paintings a unique perspective that reflects the beauty and power of our
ever-changing world.
TAG will be represented
downstairs again: The Dustyflint Collection will be back in the courtyard with
fabulous vintage clothing to feed your Spring Fever. Wonderful Hawaiiana,
Spring formals and, of course, just plain weird outfits. Try on an Easter
bonnet or take your purchase home in a basket purse!
Shana Squier lives in Hawaii and
began painting and drawing at a young age. She started painting seriously in the
past eight years. She paints abstracts, portraits and murals. Her influence
comes from the beautiful scenery Hawaii has to offer. Using her current
emotions, Shana strives to create an organic and fluid composition in her
abstract art.
Shana experiments with different media-paints,
boards and textures from beach glass, broken mirrors and found objects. She
enjoys the physical and spiritual act of painting and often uses the floor as
her easel, throwing paint and manipulating the wet textures as she tips the
board in numerous directions. This month Shana is pleased to include
various sized giclee prints of her paintings, original oil paintings, and new
this year, home made tie-dye bandanas and sarongs made with 100% cotton
fabric.
Alida Farlaino is another
newcomer to 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.
Fred Gayagas will be back
on the platform ready to welcome people into the Courtyard with his blend of
local and old favorites on his guitar.
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 of the artwork is her own
originals and some are contributed by her friends.
