Fry joined the Blue Sea Artisans Gallery two years ago and works at the gallery every Wednesday afternoon. During her featured month, she offers a gift of one of her small matted prints to the public, when they come to the gallery while she is working.

Over the last five years she has been a member of the West Hawaii Plein Air Painters, enjoying the challenges of painting outdoors on Fridays, the beaches and scenic areas of the Kona Coast. A lot of her originals painted on site are available at the gallery.

The Blue Sea Artisans Gallery is located in the Keauhou Shopping Center, Courtyard, 78-6831 Alii Drive, Kailua-Kona.
