Firehouse Gallery in Waimea will present art pieces featuring panoramic views of Hawaii during the month of August.
The variety of scenic wonders on Hawaii Island provide a unique opportunity to artists to photograph, paint, and admire. From coral reefs and black sand beaches to upland pastures of Waimea to verdant jungles where plunging waterfalls create their own rainbows, all of Hawaii Island’s paradise entices our local artists.
Several local artists are showcasing their panoramic creations during “Panoramas,” which runs Aug. 1-26 at the gallery. Among the artists are Janice Gail, Barbara Schaefer, Pat Dinsman and William Bishop.
Gail has been in Hawaii since 1986 painting its island scenery, flora and fauna as well as the beauty of the island’s warm and welcoming people. One of her latest paintings is “Almost Home,” an oil painting depicting a cattle roundup.
Schaefer uses photography to capture Hawaii Island landscapes, sunsets, seascapes and more while Dinsman uses photography and oil paintings to capture island images. Bishop, who has won several awards for his detailed images and sculptures, dares to be different with his African inspired images.
The Firehouse Gallery is the most visible project of the Waimea Arts Council, a nonprofit organization that strives to promote the arts on Hawaii Island.
The gallery is located at 67-1201 Mamalahoa Highway, near the highway’s intersection with Lindsey Road. It is open 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday-Friday and Sunday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday.
