The Blue Sea Artisans Gallery featured artist for the month of March is oil and watercolor painter Marilyn Koschella.
Koschella’s subject in her art is mainly of seascapes. Most of them she paints on site with the West Hawaii Plein Air Painters group.
Koschella grew up in Southern California and swimming and spending time at the beach was her favorite pastime. This is reflected in her paintings of the ocean. Before purchasing a home in Hawaii in 2008, most of her paintings included lakes and rivers around the Lake Tahoe area. After moving to the Big Island, she has added seascapes of the Kona Coast to her repertoire.
From 1-4 p.m. Saturday, a casual reception will be held for Koschella at the gallery, located in Kona International Market. Pupu and music will provided. The gallery is open 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
