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.

Life is fleeting. Too often, we focus on the "to-do" list and not the "to experience" list. For me, I am most present around the ocean. The rush that happens as nature collides, waves meeting the shore, wind across the waves... and the wake of that rush as well. The breathing of the sea keeps me focused. Keeping that experience alive, through my art, is my calling.

"Painting for me is a joyful activity. A connection that I hope I share with viewers. Lively brushstrokes as a colorful expression of that joy."

At home in Honolulu, Hawaii, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, and typically on or near the water, Carolyn now divides her time between boating and painting.
