Sorum is a self-taught artist and has spent 30 years living and creating art on the Big Island. She started painting at age 4 and knew that art was what she was born to do.
She has been painting professionally since 1982. In 1983, she started the Artist in Residence Program for the Mauna Lani Bay Resort, where she continues to paint and teach lessons.
This workshop is designed for beginners and the intermediate painter. Sorum shows techniques that will help in creating a successful painting. Some drawing skills are required in this process.
The emphasis will be on painting a palm tree/beach scene, but she is open to any student’s desires to paint something else.
