Hawaiʻi Watercolor Society is proud to display 67 paintings by 40 artists, selected from 170 submittals by nationally-recognized juror Anne Hightower-Patterson, in its 2023 Members’ Show.  The paintings represent some of the finest works by water-media artists who are members of the Hawai’i Watercolor Society.

Graham & Co., Kenny Fenander, Hawaiian Graphics, Art Source & Design, Sun Eden Artist Gear, and Sunshine Gallery.

The paintings will be on display from April 4 through April 29, during regular gallery hours, Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.  Ceramics pieces by noted ceramicists Ken Kang, Kenny Kicklighter, Yukio Ozaki and Mark White will also be on display.
