Happy Aloha Friday from Heather Brown!

 Happy Aloha Friday!

It is such a beautiful day here in Waikiki on the beautiful Island of Oahu in the enchanting state of Hawai'i! Fun surf is rolling through, the sun is out, the breeze is nice and everyone is happy to finally get to the weekend! There is no place that I would rather be.

Hawai"i Artist Heather Brown creates main visual for 2017 Odaiba Hawai'i Festival

Aloha Everyone!

Stoked to announce that one of my projects in the studio the winter has finally become public! I created a new piece called Hula Girl for the 2017 Odaiba Hawai'i Festival held just outside Tokyo each year. This is the largest Hawaiian festival in Japan each year showcasing the beauty of Hula, Hawaiian music, art, and of course, great food!
This was my first ever attempt at painting a hula girl. For years i have been concentrating my creative efforts on the beauty of Hawaii art, tropical art, surf art but have always shied away from trying to depict a hula girl I was hesitant because of my fear of doing it wrong. To me, the art of hula, has always had me in absolute awe. From the beauty of the preparation that these beautiful artists go through, the years and years of training, not only on the actual movements but of the history and reasoning, to the storytelling through their movements on stage! This to me was what Hawai'i was when I was a little girl and to me, it still speaks HAWAI'I so loudly to me. I am happy that I finally made the attempt, and I am happy with the piece, I hope you enjoy it as well.

Here is the main visual for the 2017 Odaiba Hawai'i festival.

Hula Girl is now also available as a limited edition giclee on canvas, an open edition matted print on paper as well as a fun UV print on wood panel.
Here is my Hula Girl piece as it is available:

Aloha Everyone!

Been a very busy spring so far with one trip to Japan done and 2 more between now and June on the way!
I had a very busy "off season" from shows in my studio working on some really great projects and some new published originals.

The first published piece from my last Japan tour is called Love and Sakura. My first gallery in Japan, the Heather Brown Surf Art Gallery in Daikanyama, Tokyo, opened on my birthday March 27, 2009. During that trip to Japan, I was first introduced the beauty of Sakura. I lucked out on that trip and the day after I landed, the Sakura were in full bloom in the Tokyo! For those of you who do not know much about Sakura (cherry blossoms) and the importance of them in Japan, I encourage you to do some research on it, as the history of it is beautiful. The full blossom days do not last long, so it is hard to really schedule a trip to see them, so in the past 8 years, I have never been able to see them like that again, and I go out each year for the Heather Brown Gallery anniversary, but usually miss them by a few days or more.
This year, we had planned a short tour in Osaka and were very hopeful to get to see the beauty of the Sakura right outside of The Heather Brown Hawaii Art Gallery in Osaka. And you know what?? We got to see them! It is so nice when the blooms happen, it is almost like the entire Country knows and people all congregate in the parks and it becomes an impromptu festival. So much fun and so absolutely beautiful!
For this tour, I was asked to paint a new piece depicting the beauty of the Sakura. In the past I have painted a few sakura pieces. One with Sakura trees along a beautiful west side beach. One with the sakura fronting the ever majestic Mt Fuji. And now Love and Sakura. there is nothing in life more beautiful than LOVE, except a day with your love under the sakura blooms in a peaceful rowboat meandering the day away.

Hawaii tropical artist Heather Brown brilliantly depicts the beauty of sakura season in her latest release, Love and Sakura

Love and Sakura has been released as a limited edition giclee on canvas (signed and numbered), an open edition matted print on sugarcane paper and a UV print on a wood panel that gives each piece its own uniqueness.

Mahalo as always for all of your support and encouragement for my art over the years! You all make me smile bigger each day! Aloha nui loa!

Heather Brown Surf Art 2016 Japan Spring Tour Wrap Up

Aloha!
I am back home at my studio in Hawai'i and still trying to catch up on sleep and figure out what day it is after getting back from my Spring Japan tour. I had a great time, as always in Japan, and it was so nice to see so many friends old and new alike throughout my couple of weeks there! I am also totally humbled and appreciate that so many people came out to see me and my art and how much ALOHA everyone shared with me.
I have a hard time really doing a good wrap up of the tour as it was a whirl wind of weeks, but I will try my best!
Once again, mahalo! Mahalo! MAHALO!! to everyone who came out to my shows, to all the staff from The Heather Brown Galleries in Tokyo and Osaka, to WTW, Dear by Ark, The Greenroom Festival and my ever so loving and supporting husband/manager of making all of this happen for me! And a BIG BIG Mahalo to all of you that follow and support my art from afar! You constantly motivate me to be a better artist and person. Mahalo nui loa!!

Here are some photos from the tour.

This photo was taken at The Heather Brown Gallery in Daikanyama, Tokyo at the beginning of my tour. If you have a chance to see the gallery in person, I definitely suggest it. Every time I get a chance to visit, I feel so comfortable and at home there, it feels like a cool old beach house in the middle of the city. I also love how the gallery staff displays the art.

Here is a wall of original art that I created for my shows at The Heather Brown Gallery in Tokyo and Osaka. I like the mix of surf art, hawaiiana art, tropical art and of course the cute characters!

As the shows wind down, we always love to take a few photos with the staff and some of the great friends that hang out till the end. This is on the second floor of The Heather Brown Gallery in Daikanyama, Tokyo

 We opened a second gallery in Japan is Osaka a few years back and it is always a favorite stop on my tours in Japan. I really love going Kansai side and experiencing the different foods and people. SO much fun in Osaka!

This tour I did a couple of weekday events at some of the great accounts around the country that have been supporting my art. This photo was taken at Dear by Ark. SO much ALOHA here! I was totally overwhelmed and full of gratitude!

About 7 years ago Chris and I had a meeting with a company that was talking to us about opening up a new store called WTW. Since then, they have not only opened 1 store, but multiples around the country. They have graciously supported my art since their opening days and continue to show so much love and support. This was at the WTW Aoyama location.

 Spring tour dates are always ultimately decided by my favorite event each year, The Annual Greenroom Festival in Yokohama Japan. This was my 8th year in a row participating in this epic event that celebrates surf art, music and film and basically the entire lifestyle we live. The first year I participated there were maybe a few hundred attendees, flash forward to present day and WOW!! There must have been 25,000+ people each day. It is such a great finale to the tour and I love seeing the great music lineups, fellow artist friends from around the world, fans from the past years and new ones alike. So thankful to be a part of this great event each year!

Each year I produce a separate body of original surf art for the Greenroom Festival. The 4 pieces on the top row are the pieces I created for this years festival. They are sold out, but I really enjoyed the direction of these pieces, so I plan to paint more for summer shows and hope to publish one or two in the upcoming months.
