Viewpoints Featured Show

An annual exhibit of great quality, Celebration of Hawai'i is truly a cultural event not to be missed. This show offers a rare opportunity to see works done by several exceptional native Hawaiian artists, as well as a number of the most celebrated local artists. This year, almost 60 artists will be presenting works in painting, photography, fibers, ceramic, wood, and glass, expressing their love of the land, the people and the island culture, past and present. Presented in the Viewpoints Gallery next to Hot Island Glass at the Courtyard, this show is worth the trip to Makawao, a charming little town nestled on the slopes of Haleakala, dear to local artists and the Hawaiian community.

This billowy cloud often sits across the middle of Haleakala. I always love looking at the shadows and highlights of the cloud form. I think of it as the "resident cloud." The middle and foreground portray the rural nature of Kula.

Mertusha-The Merangel of Pod-lyrical
by Steven Lee Smeltzer

bronze on marble base
20h x 18w x 13d $4850

Anciently enchanted…youthfully weathered,
she is the keeper of the key, of caves.

Her domain is the sea depths, from Maliko to Kuiaha Bay.

Rising and taking flight when the moonbow glows; to bathe in the Pa’uwela Point tide pools.

It is here, that Simion Uu caught a glimpse of Mertusha, a-time in the long ago.

Simion was living in the coast caves, secreted fromhis false accusers.

The two were brief moonbow companions, when Mertusha granted Simion a wish key, allowing his return to home, at “Hale Kahu” in Kahiapo camp.

Full moon, moonbow, Pa’uwela Point tide pools…can still offer an encounter, with the ancient, un-aging, Mertusha.

Be still, be aware, be the key.
