Owner, Susan Brooks, is an amazing artist. I purchased…read moreartwork from her a couple of years back, on my return trip to Waikiki I decided to commission a custom painting on a repurposed surfboard as the canvas and I am beyond happy. Susan's art has so much character and originality. If you're looking for Hawaiian themed art as a souvenir of your time in Oahu, go see Susan. Way better than any other gallery catering to "high end" customers offering boring repetitive pieces. Mahalo, Susan!

Whenever I am in Haleiwa I simply must stop in at one of my favorite galleries. Because I love the…read moreocean and all the creatures in it, I get a boost to my soul to be amongst Wayland's creations. The lovely lady who was running the gallery informed me that Wayland was in Florida touching up one of his murals that had faded in the sun. Walking through the gallery there were so many beautiful bronze sculptures and Wayland's latest paintings in black & white of honu; a colorful portrait of Bob Marley; SurfXArt on Surfboards; The Endless Summer Master Edition; lucite sculptures backlit in blue light and two imaginative pieces by 2WILD, 2 two women artists from Toronto. If I had more wall space (& money) I wouldn't have walked out of there empty-handed.

It is wonderful to see the amazing work of all powwow artists. When we went, there was no one else there so we got to take our time walking through and get some really good shots! If you're looking for something FREE to do in the Waikiki area, this is definitely a must see! It's not only got some wonderful installations but it's also air conditioned so it's great to cool down on hot days or find something to do indoors when raining! There's also a little gift shop (downstairs) that has some lovely handmade things for sale. Highly recommend stopping by this very cool spot and checking out all it has to offer!

It was a few hours well spent with decisions to be made before we leave Hawaii. Thank you for educating us on colors and value of the art options.

Found another gem in Kailua! From the minute I looked through the store window, I knew this art was…read morespeaking to my soul. Featuring many of Lauren Roth's soft, colorful art with various Hawaiian landscapes, flowers and beaches as the subject, it's challenging to make a decision! While the art is colorful, it isn't childlike. The palettes are soft and can easily blend in or stand out in a variety of home decor styles. I decided on a print of the mountains with the ocean in the foreground to hang in my home in Portland. It will be a reminder of my love for Hawaii and my many trips to the various islands and towns. Kailua on O'ahu being my favorite destination . In addition to prints, there are also textiles. The handbags are fun and charming!!! I may have to get the bucket bag with th tassel! She makes postcards on thin pieces of wood that can easily be framed. They have a vintage look that I adore. And coloring books for the kids or adults! Cards, postcards, stickers, serving platters...and different items coming, I'm sure. Imagination never stops! This gallery also features other artists, giving them a vehicle to display their work. So many beautiful pieces! The customer service was fabulous, thank you, John! I stopped in right before closing and was greeted and welcomed as if the studio had just opened. While I don't want this trip to Hawaii to end, I am excited about getting my print framed and hung up at home for a touch of Aloha by my side always.

The gallery in Kailua town has a laid back charm and is a pleasant treat on a walk through town. We have one of her pieces above our kitchen nook and it brightens the grayest mornings. They have notecards and calendars that will make great holiday gifts. (note- my pictures do not do justice to the vibrance of her work) You have to go and see for yourself.

Brilliant: Use the former space of Native Books as a museum pop-up. Part of the division of that…read morecompany into 4-5 spaces in the Ward/South Shore Market area, at least until this Warehouse building gets torn down. Various craft artists, including textile artists, painters, sculptors, ceramicists, wood workers, etc., rent out offices here where they can work on their current projects, as well as show their work in revolving exhibitions. I think the space in the back, that used to be for groups, is utilized for classes. Even in the middle of this largeish space, there was an aunty--kupuna--teaching a student something, when I went in (fabric? weaving? not sure...). Many of the items I saw for sale in one of the small rooms--taken by a network of ceramicists and metal/wire artists--were relatively affordable (though more expensive than Hawai'i Potter's Guild Xmas season type shows in the parks/craft fairs). I looked rather seriously at some cleverly formed pieces, which are calling my name out to go on my desk next to the ol' laptop. Let's support Hawai'i artists! This place is only around for another month or so, before they gentrify-destroy the whole Ward Warehouse area in favor of some pricey condo that NOBODY LOCAL can afford. So GO NOW.

From jewelry to home accents (the glasswork art is super cute) and a lot of fabulous oil paintings, theres everything for everyone. Kristin, the gallery director is so friendly and was just a joy to talk to. We bought a print of the Kalapawai market by Lynn Boyer and Kristen said "Lynn is just around the corner you can meet her she's coming over!" The energy she shares with you is just so contagious. She has super "bestie" vibes!! Love her! We also bought a miniature acrylic canvas painting done by Lana, a miniature artist and I got to meet her the following day! We were so happy to be able to support local artists and have these pieces home with us. All in all a joyous experience! If you love/like art or just appreciate great craftsmanship, this is a must visit in Waikiki.

Assisted by Kristin, the gallery director, I was given a tour while hearing stories about the artists. Her warmth and enthusiasm was infectious. Fortunately, the pricing of the art was well within my budget; the gallery has pieces starting at $12! Best of all, Mark Brown, a well known Hawaiian artist, gave a free art class, which was incredibly fun. I'm glad to have found a hidden little treasure among all the art galleries in Waikiki.
