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.
Rochelle Weidner has been involved in the arts all her life, working in commercial arts during her professional life, and painting in her free time. Upon retirement and moving to Hawaii, she has become an active participant in several art organizations, notable the Hawaii Watercolor Society. She works in watercolor, acrylic and mixed media.
