Robena’s “Love of Clarity”
"Robena takes the seemingly simple objects of our lives and finds the glorious elements within, creating majestic pieces of art that captivate and attract - visions that are as refreshing as they are unique," said Viewpoints Gallery art consultant Peter Rehfuss.
"Known for her powerful use of size, color, and composition, she has created a series of paintings that are dynamic, beautiful and subtle," he said.
The gallery is located in The Courtyard in Makawao at 3620 Baldwin Ave.; for information, call 572-5979 or visit www.viewpointsgallerymaui.com.
