Hawaii Art News: Heather Brown Releases 3 New Special Editions

Aloha!

I hope that everyone is having a great week so far! It has been beautiful and very hot here on the North Shore the past week or so and after finishing my last show on Saturday, we have been soaking up some much needed beach time and lots of time playing in the ocean!

My next showing will be on August 15, 2014 at Bliss 101 with fellow artist, Susan Wickstrand Roche. I have not done a southern California show in a few years, so I am excited to come for this show as well as the Moore's Cancer Center at UCSD Scripps Pier Longboard Luau on the 17th. I have created the art for this event and the original will be auctioned off there that day with proceeds going to cancer research. Hope you can make it to one of these great events (or both!!)

This past Saturday at my show at The Wyland Gallery in Waikiki I released 3 really special new editions. These new limited editions are very special to me because they are paintings of some silkscreen images that I made for my Bachelor of Fine Arts Show when I attended the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. While doing some studio cleaning and re-organizing, we came across some of the old silkscreens and Chris really wanted to put them up on our walls, but they were pretty molded and not very well taken care of for the past 12+ years so I decided that I was going to do some painting renditions of them. These pieces mark some of the first pieces I ever created in this style that I have been most known for.

The first piece is "Waikiki Coastline"
I first did this pieces as a silkscreen then did a similar painting in 2007 for the Honolulu Magazine Best of Hawaii Edition cover when I was first named Best Artist in Hawaii. I started surfing in Waikiki and This is the view I imagine the birds get when they are cursing around on a nice south swell day.
This original is still available at The Wyland Gallery in Waikiki. If you are interested in the original, please contact them directly.

The next two pieces are being released as "platinum editions" the edition size is very small (only 50 versus the normal 250) they are being released with a matte finish versus the normal semi gloss finish to give them more of the original feel of the original art and the silkscreen and each one will include a very special hand pulled silkscreen as an accompaniment.

This piece is called "Parking Lot Birds"
When I was going to school at UH, I would ride my moped down to Waikiki every free moment to try and grab some waves, on my way back I used to stop at a small little convenience store to get a drink or some snacks for the evening of print making that was ahead of me and I LOVed seeing all the little birds hanging in the lot waiting for the smallest of crumbs to drop and it just seemed like they had such a funny little community. This is my rendition of what I saw.
The original is sold, but the platinum edition canvases are available now!

This last piece is called "City Birds"
From the same time period as The Parking Lot Birds, when I would ride into Waikiki and see all the high rise buildings reaching the clouds. I would always think that these birds had the greatest views and would wonder what they would be thinking as they watched the madness of Waikiki from above. The original is sold, but the platinum edition canvases are available now!

Surf Art Water Color Originals by Heather Brown

I love this greenwash series of watercolors. This one is especially my favorite because it is of my lil guy Marley when he was still a puppy cruising The North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. He loves the beach, watching surfers and of course being featured in some new surf art!

"Pinballs, Waimea" takes another look at another sacred place we have on the North Shore in an entirely different season. So many paintings, photo's, etc have been done surrounding Waimea Bay on the North Shore of Oahu and with great reason, this is one of the most beautiful places on Earth! I wanted to capture a bit of a different view for this piece that centered on the inside wave at Waimea called Pinballs. This piece will also be used as the main visual for the 10th Annual Surfrider Foundation  John Kelly Awrds being held at Waimea Valley this November 2014. Please check out the Surfrider Foundation and the John Kelly Awards, a super fun event, great music, great people and the perfect silent auctions to start your holiday shopping out right, through local artisans!

"Turquoise Sea" is a new piece that is inspired by the early mornings that me and The Captain hit the beach and the colors of the ocean just prior to the sunrise. I love the deep hues of blue glistening under the moon and playing by themselves before the morning surf crew gets on them.

I also released a brand new exclusive limited edition series with The Wyland Gallery in Haleiwa and Waikiki called "Under The Kamane Tree"
Years ago when we were living in a small little shack at Off The Wall, our house wash;t much of anything, but our lanai was right on the beach and was shaded by the most beautiful old Kamane Tree. We would spend hours and hours under that tree, painting, napping and just watching the world go by.
This piece is only available pin a very limited edition by calling the Wyland Gallery in Waikiki or Haleiwa or of course going in there in person! I will be showing at The Wyland Gallery in Waikiki on July 26, 2014 also so you can pick one up and get it dedicated!

"The Art of Heather Brown" 10 year retrospective book

July 19 and 20, 2014 I will be one of the participating artists at this years annual Haleiwa Arts Festival at the Haleiwa Beach Park on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. This by far is my favorite event each year as it is really how I got my start and first pouch into the world of a working artist. I have done this festival now for 10 years or so and love the fun causal outside environment and getting to see so many friends and family from around the Islands and fans and collectors that come from around the world! I have some really fun new art made especially for the festival and will also be debuting a new series of older pieces that never were published (only sold as originals) that I really love that are printed on custom wooden planks that The Captain makes!
Speaking of The Captain, We will be sharing a booth this year near the food concessions, so come say  ALOHA and check out his cool art too!
