Heather Brown Shows at The Wyland Galleries on Oahu

Aloha and Happy Monday!

Wow! What a weekend! 2 shows with the Wyland Galleries here on Oahu. On Saturday I was with the Wyland Gallery up near my home in Haleiwa and Sunday I was with the Wyland Gallery in Waikiki on Lewers St. Both shows were fantastic! I am always so happy to share my new art with new and old fans alike and between the two days I was able to spend time and talk to so many people and share my love of surf art, the ocean, living green and Hawai'i! Thank you all so much for coming out and if you were not able to make it to either of the shows, here is a little sampling of some of the original art that I brought.
Now time to get ready for Haleiwa Arts Festival this coming up weekend!

Heather Brown Donates Artwork to Two Kids Raising Money for College with a Clever Idea

Aloha!

About six months ago I received an email from two kids from Seattle, Washington asking if I would make some art for them for their Shave Ice business. Well, I generally sift through about 200 emails a day with many requests to create logos, tee shirt designs, etc and with this one being from two kids 3000 miles away, I didn't really take it too seriously and responded to them but had to decline. The next morning I awoke to a thank you email from them that was so sweet and sincere that I anded the torch over to my manager Chris and told him to make it work for them. Well months later this is the "little" Shave Ice Business they have come up with to raise money for college as well as help give back to their community.
Koa and Ava Wright possess the qualities that we all strive for as adults and they don't even have drivers licences yet. I am so proud that I could help them and help them help their community.
Here is a picture of their Shave Ice Truck that is available for hire in the Seattle Area and some links to find them. Stop by their Facebook page and Say "ALOHA!" This is what we should all hope for in the youth of our Country.
Mahalo Koa and Ava (and Dad Ford) for making me take a second look at your great idea, best of luck to you both (which I know you will not need with your great attitudes, manners and ethics)! E Malama Pono!

Norther California Tour June 2011 with Heather Brown and High Tide Surf Art

Aloha!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Happy 4th!
We just returned about a week ago from a 2 week Northern California tour to visit some of my great accounts and galleries up in the areas and do some signings and small shows. The trip was fantastic and we travelled through about 3 seasons in 14 days! Here are some pictures of some of the off times of the trip. If you have not been, I really suggest going to Northern CA, Tahoe, Yosemite, San Francisco, Sausalito, Santa CRuz, Carmel, and many more stops we hit were all so beautiful and the people are all so warm hearted, friendly and helpful. I hope to go back soon for some bigger shows!

We rented an RV since our schedule was all over the place and a bit hectic. Here we are on the 108 pass (1st day it was opened for the season)

2011 Honolulu Surf Film Festival with Original Poster Art By Heather Brown

Aloha!

I was so honored to be asked to create the original poster and brochure art for the 2011 Honolulu Surf Film Festival to be held in early July. I took some inspiration from the original Big Wednesday film poster as I thought it was fitting being a Surf Film Festival and this is what I came up with.

The original art is available for sale on my website and I ship worldwide.

This was a small write up by the Honolulu Academy of the Arts on the Film Festival which features the art as well.

Mahalo for Following my blog!

Aloha!

I wanted to thank everyone for following my blog and apologize for not updating it recently. We are currently in Santa Cruz and have been all over Northern California for shows, store visits, signings and some fun camping in Yosemite, Tahoe, Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay. We have had very limited internet connections so I promise to update when we get back home to Hawai'i on Monday.

Mahalo!

Green With Aloha Organic Cotton Tote Bags by Heather Brown

Aloha!

I just released a brand new Organic Cotton Tote Bag! I love these bags because they are big enough to go shopping with and strong enough to last a lifetime and 100% machine washable! I now have 4 different designs to pick from, but here is the latest. Mahalo!
