About this Event
Julianne Kalksma is an ocean engineering graduate student at the University of Hawaii with aspirations of protecting our coastal environment through science and storytelling.
She will present " Exploring Estuaries" where we can better understand the environmental and cultural importance of our diverse and dynamic ecosystems, while growing an appreciation for the landscape that many times colors our canvases.

How we perceive information, and choose to tell ourselves and others stories about them to enhance understanding and connection to our environment are common challenges to both artist and scientist. Enjoy the exhibition of Hawaii Watercolor Society's Open Juried Exhibition when you come to listen to Julianne's presentation.

This talk, a part of a lecture series hosted by the Hawaii Watercolor Society to complement their Chemistry of Water exhibition which seeks to inspire lovers of science and art.

Mark your calendar for the four lecture dates and come to interesting presentations on the theme of Color of Water and see the Chemistry of Water exhibit on view till Nov 22 at HoMAs (Linekona). Also: Come out this Friday to see the opening of the Little Picture show at Arts at Marks 5-8pm

The concept of Chemistry of Water was to create a STEAM space, where art and science could meet--literally in the same space. Bring a friend and stop by the HoMAS Main Gallery to see the show and stay to listen to one of our lectures.

Chemistry of Water challenged our artists to interpret the theme and showcase watercolor as a medium of expression and technical innovation and excellence. This is HWS' Open Juried show and our juror, Paul Jackson, AWS, NWS is a nationally recognized artist and teacher. In the gallery space, a lecture series with top experts in their respective fields will present on the theme of 'Color of Water'. Each lecture is 1 hour--30 min of presentation with time for Q&A and to view the show. We have an exploration table set up for to examine samples of various watercolor textures/techniques and magnification tools to see samples up close.
