These works of art will represent the loveliness of native Hawaiian flora, as well as familiar, and not-so-familiar, images of plant life from other climes. The imagery of all things botanical has been a favorite with artists of different persuasions throughout time.
A reception for the artists, from 3 to 5 p.m. July 14, will include a memorial tribute toDolly Loo, Waimea Arts Council’s president emeritus.
