new peeks: heather brown

sakura * heather * no. 296 * gallery peeps

this will be short and sweet due to many, many distractions in h|h-land, but i just wanted to check in with the tardy news of heather brown's charming little gallery that opened this past spring in japan.

it's not too surprising to discover our japanese friends have fallen for heather's artwork which has since gotten some love from elle japan and other publications upon the gallery's tokyo debut. just peeking at her latest offerings is an instant pick-me-up between those cheerful little birds (6x6 originals now available!) and the translucent rolling waves that have become a hb signature.

between racking up the frequent flier miles traveling back and forth across the pacific, heather has also found her way to kaua'i for quiet country living that is paying off with new vistas and surf breaks to capture with her paint brush.

more peeks below . . .

juicy sunset

of course, this means a bit more competition for the handful of originals for sale in the online shops located stateside & in japan. both websites also stock giclées and less spendy prints of artwork that have already found a wall to call home.

also, take note that heather just returned from a series of shows in japan and will be one of the local artists featured during the triple crown surf art show's opening reception this weekend.

  • when: sat, nov 21st - 6p
  • where: wyland galleries, 66-250 kam hwy, haleiwa

p.s. you can follow heather's adventures (featuring her adorable pup) on her blog, or, if your written japanese is good, click over to the staff blog for gallery updates dispatched from japan.

speaking hawaiian

happy king kamehameha day! if you have always admired the beauty of the hawaiian language and wished you could learn to speak it fluently (not just a word here & there), you will be happy to learn about 'aha punana leo (especially if you live far from the islands).

the organization was started over 20 years ago by educators who were concerned about the potential extinction of the hawaiian language. in addition to offering hawaiian immersion instruction for native hawaiians, they also welcome anyone interested in learning the language to enroll in their online hawaiian classes.

the next semester starts on august 21st so check out the faq for more details.
