Hawaii Artist Heather Brown's New "I Love Hawai'i" Re-usable Grocery Tote Bag

Aloha!

I just released a new value re-usable grocery tote bag available now!

I have long supported the ban on single use plastics and have done work with Surfrider Foundation, The Kokua Foundation and SeaThos Foundation in collaborating on art work and alternative products to raise awareness and help people to stop using these unnecessary single use plastic bags and water bottles.

Here is my latest release on a value based re-usable tote bag that measures 15"x13"x10" is Navy Blue and printed in white on both sides.

I am currently running a special for these limited bags of 1 bag for $10 or 4 bags for only $30! Great time to stock up and keep some in your car, backpack, etc so you always have some ready for those quick trips to the store.

You can find purchasing details for these great new bags here: http://heatherbrownart.com/home.php?gallery=0000004304&set=1&imageid=00769885

Always try and stay Green With Aloha!

Hawai'i Artist Heather Brown Celebrates International Surfing Day with Her New Collaboration Surfboard Model with Two Crows Surfboards

Aloha!

Today, June 20, 2012 is International Surfing Day! What a great day to observe!!
Many of you know that on the North Shore of Oahu in Hawai'i we usually do not have much for waves this time of the year, but this June has blessed us with heaps of surf and great times!
Today, Chris and I went down to one of our favorite logging spots (great place to ride longboards) and scored a few hours of fun surf with very minimal crowds and the sun even greeted us to make for a perfect session.

I took out my new Sea Siren Surfboard model which is a collaboration project with me ( Heather Brown) and The guys at Two Crows Surfboards (Carl and Nick) also from here on the North Shore.
I have been working with Carl the shaper over the past year to pinpoint the perfect shape board and once we found the shape, Nick and I worked out the art. Nick is a successful artist not only in surfboard glassing, but also in totally unique fiberglass art that Chris and I have also added to our art collection.

The "Sea Siren" is an 8'11" all around longboard and it is available in a limited edition of only 100 (each one is signed and numbered under the glass)
The first 5 have sold and the next 5 will be available the end of July. The price of the first 25 is $2500 which includes a special one of a kind 50/50 fin as well as a daytripper board bag to keep it safe. After the first 25 the price will increase $250 for each 10 made, so get yours quick!
The fin a 9" custom shape by Island Fin Design (pictured below) is green on one side with the Heather Brown Sea Siren Logo and black on the other side with the Two Crows Logo. Each surfboard does come with one of these fins as mentioned, also, there are fins available to purchase separately, you can click on the image below to be taken directly to my website where you can see purchasing details.
You can also pick up a Heather Brown X Two Crows Sea Siren model in Honolulu at The Surf Garage and soon in Maryland at Malibu's Surf Shop. Ask your local shop to carry these great boards!

The Board is 100% hand Shaped here in Hawai'i and hand glassed with all of the artwork being done using tinted and colored resins (this is not a cheap painting on foam or a laminate) The colors are vibrant and beautiful, this is a lost art in the mass produced surfboard market. Both the top and bottom deck of the board have the art and special laminate that I created for the model and all of the lines match up perfectly.

Contest for Small Business Grant for Heather Brown Art

Aloha Everyone!

I just signed up for a chance to get a small business grant from Chase and Living Social.
It is such a great program that is looking to help small successful businesses continue to be more successful and sustainable!

As many might know, in the past few years we have worked really hard to make Heather Brown Art a more environmentally conscious company as well as a more sustainable business here on The North Shore of Oahu in Hawai'i. We have hired two North Shore residents in the past 18 months and continue to work hard donating art, time and money to great local organizations like The Kokua Foundation, The Surfrider Foundation, The Wyland Foundation and many smaller programs like The Hawai'i Surf Tea, Access Surf, local public schools on Oahu and even a great local soccer team going to the Championships in Colorado.

We are looking forward to receiving this grant money so that we can purchase some much needed new equipment and a new work space so we can continue to pursue more sustainable business practices and source out and use even more environmentally responsible local products in our work.

To help out is simple.

Heather Brown Surf Art New Limited Edition Giclee Releases Sring 2012

Aloha!

I hope that everyone had a great weekend! It was a nice one here on the North Shore, we even had some out of season swell up here!!

At this years Greenroom Festival in Yokohama Japan, I made a large installation work consisting of multiple smaller paintings that could all stand on their own or when put together, could be a piece consisting of 7 individual pieces making 1 scene of an idealistic Waikiki Beach and Surf Day.

Rainbow Birds is a piece that has been swirling around in my head for a while. I love to paint birds and have been featured in a few different publications for the birds that I create, but I usually just have them as singles. The Rainbow Birds seemed to fit perfectly with the piece I had also created a rainbow with skateboards that perched over this entire installation.

Rainbow Birds Original is sold, but I have just released the piece as a series of limited edition giclees and hand highlighted artist proofs.

"Fun in The Sun" to me exemplifies the Waikiki Beach summer experience, lots of sun, surf and the patchwork of seaside umbrellas lining the beaches.

"Daydream Surf" is just that, the perfect wave rolling to shore alone in all of it's majesty (a rare site to see a wave pass through the Waikiki waters unridden) with just the beautiful fragrance of the summers Plumeria's filling the air.

"Enjoying the View" reminds me of my first few dates with my husband Chris where we would go and surf Pop's in Waikiki and relax on the seawall after the long walk through Waikiki before paddling out. As people who surf, we are always so lucky that watching our sport is as fun as participating.

"Enjoying The View" was just released as a series of limited edition giclees and hand highlighted artist proofs.

Enjoying The View by Heather Brown

"Yellow Plumerias" is what summertime means to me here on The North Shore of Oahu and all around Hawai'i. This is the season where the trees get thick with their rubbery looking green leaves and beautifully fragrant flowers. While there are many beautiful colors of plumerias, I am always partial to the delicate yellows and their poignant fragrance.

"Yellow Plumerias" was just released as a series of limited edition giclees and hand highlighted artist proofs.
