This Saturday Sept. 4th for the Old Kapaa Town Art Walk we will be featuring Denise Dion-Scoyni. I came to know Denise through my daughters school – Denise is the art teacher at Kauai Pacific School – and a fabulous one at that. I recently started carrying her beautiful tiles in the atelier. This Saturday she will be bringing in her original paintings as well. Don’t miss this chance to meet Denise and let her know how much you love her work! Please check out her website to see more
Whooh its been a busy couple weeks! While preparing for the eco fabulous fashion show at Kilohana we created quite a few new items to feature. Aaron Feinberg took some great shots at the eco show, to view photos visit his site at http://afeinphoto.com/Heath_And_Wellness/Pages/Best_Of.html#13
I am really inspired and grateful to the artists, volunteers, musicians, and everyone who helped in making this another super fun and successful event. Close to 50 of my local Kauai Ohana stepped up once again and I just want to say how amazed I am that you are walking your talk.
The collaboration between Takuyo and I is a really exciting one. She is hand painting on our bamboo and hemp clothing creating some spectacular one of a kind pieces. Takuyo is creating a sea life collection in which we are donating 10% of all sales to our local Save our Seas organization. To find out more about what they are doing please visit them at http://www.saveourseas.org/saveourseas/aloha.html
A.Fox created a bouquet of really fabulous hair pieces – these gorgeous creations are now available at the atelier.
We started a hip mens bamboo tee shirt line and are working on mens yoga pants as well – first pair out – working on the kinks but should be available soon!
There are 2 new flirty skirts – one made from bamboo knit, its short and sassy – great for these hot summer days, Ive been wearing mine constantly. The other is equally as sassy but made from a limited edition of linen fabrics, great for work, the market, or a dinner party.
Unfortunately these items are net yet available through the website – but stay in touch – hopefully you’ll see them soon. And almost everything was shot at the fashion show so look at Aarons website to see photos, otherwise come on down to Old Kapaa Town and visit us at a.ell atelier.
After much ado we’ve decided to evolve the Kapaa Art Walk to the 1st Saturday of the month. Which means we’re just a few days away from a fresh new release! This week at the atelier we have Lefty playing guitar along with Kaili showing her gorgeous paintings both outside on the sidewalk. Inside we have John Howards black light paintings and farm animal tees and tanks for both the ladies and the gents. Its still 4 days away so I’m guessing a few more artists will pop up to show what they have as well as the sidewalk is open to everyone!
So come on down, eat, dance, talk, and show that you think supporting our local folks is important – its not an easy path – but its just so fun!
