The latest AHA Newsletter is out to members.

We are looking forward to our first public presentation of artwork since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020.

Barbara Sumida, award-winning AHA artist and Hospitality Co-Chair with Frances Wong has 12 pieces featured as part of the Out In The Elements show June 30 – July 31 at DAC.  Sumida’s daughters have allowed the work to be shown. The exhibit of raku ceramics and plein air paintings also included painting and ceramics demonstration and workshops on Saturdays and Sundays. AHA artists in the show included: Dwayne Adams, Lynne Boyer, Ed Brennan, Alla Parsons, Wendy Roberts, Donna Sommer, Barbara Tinius, Roger Tinius, and Frances Wong.

ZOOM Reception and Award Presentation took place Monday, May 10. Congratulations to France Wong for taking the First Place spot with her work, “Mo’omomi, Molokai”.

Hello painting friends. Since the lockdown, in my new paintings I have enjoyed developing a more expressive  brushy style.   I hope you like it. 

I made my work after I saw an empty beach.  I would like to share it to  AHA members.  Mahalo! Michael Chang,

A new work from our AHA vice-president and Newsletter editor, entitled: “Red White Black and Blue”.

This is a new painting in Renton Road. Most of the remaining houses are from the plantation days. Every sunny  day driving by this house,   shadows lurked in the foreground and it struck me as a kind of mysterious and inviting dwelling amongst the trees. Ewa Beach has so many quaint spots from old. I’m happy I was able to paint it – Teresa Shea
