Top Kauai Classes & Workshops

I am a Hawaii artist with many years of experience as a painter and teacher. My artwork hangs in homes and offices throughout the state and across the mainland and Europe. I'm from Hawaii, growing up in Waikiki and moving to Kauai in 1974. My knowledge of the Hawaiian culture and the island of Kauai has a deep influence of how I paint and teach. I want to share my love of our local scenery, wildlife, people and plants, which are a never-ending source of inspiration. I'd be honored to share my art experience with you and help you on your creative journey. E komo mai! Welcome!
