HAWAII CERAMIC ARTIST AND PAINTER ESTHER NOWELL CELEBRATES 102 YEARS OF LIFE WITH AN EXHIBITION AT DOWNTOWN ART CENTER, MAY 31 – JUNE 30, 2022 
Downtown Art Center at 1041 Nuʻuanu Ave. Second Floor, in the Chinatown Gateway Plaza, is thrilled to host ‘A Century Plus Two,’ an exhibition of the watercolor paintings and fun, quirky, ceramic work of 102-year-old Hawaiʻi artist Esther Nowell, in its Performance Space gallery.
 Opening on the artist’s birthday, May 31, the show will be available for free public viewing until June 30, during regular gallery hours, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.
 A public birthday bash for Nowell will be held on Sunday, June 5, from 1 – 5 p.m. Masks are requested for this event.
 Born on May 31, 1920, Esther Nowell has made countless contributions to Hawaiʻi’s arts communities over the course of her long and creative life. She has been an illustrator for the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, an arts educator, role model and inspiration for many generations of local artists, the President of Hawaiʻi Potter’s Guild, a children’s storybook illustrator, and an innovative artist and craftsperson, best known for her unique techniques of working with clay, and for her watercolor art.
