The Kailua Village Artists featured artist for the month of June is watercolor artist and digital designer Stefanie Culbertson.
Culbertson moved to Hawaii 27 years ago and has been fascinated with the lush, tropical land and seascapes and growing deep roots here on this Island. It has inspired her bright and vivid growing watercolor collection, the “Anuenue Series” and “Fire-Earth-Air & Water Series.” She earned her bachelor’s in digital design in 2006 and started her own business Tiffany Arts Designs.
Culbertson is continuously evolving as an artist. She is pictured in the photograph painting one of her latest paintings “Leap of Faith,” an acrylic with 3D raised letters and figure, that also has special light effects. It will be featured at the KVA Gallery.
“Over the last six months, I’ve been tested in my faith, perseverance and trust to follow my own dream to live full time as an artist. It was a ‘Leap of Faith,’” she said. “You can’t cross a chasm in two little steps. This painting and another featured painting embrace deeper, universal concerns of all humanity, and our quest to follow our faith and dreams, and move forward in their life.”
Culbertson will be working at the gallery this Saturday and June 18. The Kailua Village Artists Gallery is located at 75-5729 Alii Drive, Suite C-110, in the Kona Marketplace. It is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Info: 329-6653.
