Odaiba Hawai'i Festival with Heather Brown

Aloha!

I had mentioned earlier that there was a lot going on, so here is another update that makes me feel really good!

A few months back I was contacted by the people that hold the largest Hawai'i Festival in the world in Odaiba Japan to create an original art piece for their posters and advertisements. I was extremely honored to say the least! We met at my gallery, The Heather Brown Gallery, in Daikanyama, Tokyo, Japan when I was out there for the anniversary show and we all hit it off and had a great connection so I agreed and we worked together on a great concept for the art. After the past very tumultuous year in Japan, the idea behind the festival this year was "Coming Together". We thought that a piece that showed the varying flowers, colors and textures of Hawai'i would signify this idea in a beautiful way.

Once I had finished the piece, I fell in love with it too because you can really see the meaning and feeling behind the piece so I released it as a new Limited Edition Giclee as well called "Flowers of Hawai'i"

The festival is running from April 28- May 6 in Odaiba Japan

I want to send out big Mahalo's to the coordinators of the event for picking me to be the ambassador for the art from Hawai'i!!

In addition to the festival art, since Toyota was one of the major sponsors of the event, I was asked if they could put my art on the New Prius that was just launched in Japan for a one off car that could be shown at the festival! Now I want one that looks like this!
