Water is the focus of the latest artwork by Tim Garcia and Robena, featured in a new exhibit opening with a reception at 5 this evening at Viewpoints Gallery in Makawao. The ocean is the inspiration for the artists, providing inexhaustible inspiration for their brush and chisel.
Robena, known for her large-scale paintings, has titled her show "The Delicate Sea" and sculptor Tim Garcia has titled his efforts "Ocean Rhythms - Feminine Forms."
Both artists are also surfers and are dedicating a portion of their proceeds to the educational nonprofit Project S.E.A. Link.
