If you like art, get to know these Hawaiian artists..

I recently visited the Honolulu Museum of art at First Hawaiian Center in downtown Honolulu to see George Wollards recent sculptures with the theme 'Drawing a Bead'. I think this exhibition will be open till Feb 5, 2016 and paintings by Tom Lieber and works of Hannah Day, Nelson Flack, Chenta Laury and Carl Jennings with the theme 'Dreaming of Nature' were also on display.

The admission and parking are free.

Here is the address:
Hawaiian Art Museum (808-532-8701)


While George uses natrual objects such as stone and wood often chopped out of trees or recovered from fallen ones and decorated with cashew lacquer from Korea, the others use conventional materials. George really brings out brilliant colors from these otherwise grey objects and are very beautiful to look at.




Here on display are also various Geode's. I had seen quite a lot of them when I was living in Brazil, but this museum has quite a few good pieces. Here is a rather large geode.


If you are tired of the beaches or it is too cold outside may be you should visit and take a look and enjoy.

Here are some of the photos of some of the other displays.
