Hawai`i Watercolor Society

 

The Hawai`i Watercolor Society was founded in 1962 by Hawai`i Artist Hon Chew Hee. Our aim as an organization is to nurture and stimulate interest in water media through education, exhibits, and collaboration with other organizations, associations and individuals.

The Hawai`i Watercolor Society sponsors two juried exhibits every year as well as a biennial curated show highlighting the work of our signature members. In addition, we host periodic sales, themed shows and community events.

In conjunction with our exhibits we offer two week long workshops each year featuring nationally recognized teaching artists. On an intermittent basis we sponsor shorter duration workshops on a variety of art-related topics.

Nancy and her husband Carroll moved from San Francisco to Hawaii in 1968 and together raised five daughters. Nancy was a business professional until semi-retirement in 2005 when longtime friend, Peggy Chun, encouraged her to paint.

Her first formal instruction was with George Woollard, painting in Umbria, Italy. She has continued her artistic passion through classes at The Honolulu Academy of Art, sessions with Mr. Woollard, Anthony Lee, and with workshops by visiting artists such as Bob Burridge, Stephen Quiller and Sandra Duran-Wilson.

Nancy's paintings focus primarily on still lifes, floral studies and scenic watercolors where she emphasizes vibrant natural earth tones.

Nancy is a Signature Member of The Hawaii Watercolor Society.
