Heather Brown's "North Shore Holiday" Surf Art Print Now Available!

Aloha!

I am excited to announce that I have just released "North Shore Holiday" as a new signed and matted print available in 2 sizes also available with our reclaimed wood frames made here on the North Shore of Oahu!

The original inspiration for "North Shore Holiday" came a few years back when Chris and I were living on the Island of Kaua'i, Hawai'i. We had both lived on Oahu at different times prior and I had moved over to live with him on Kaua'i for about a year to experience the beautiful garden isle. While we were living there, we would travel back to Oahu pretty regularly for shows, meetings, etc and on one lucky trip we scored great surf in the off season for the North Shore. I remember so vividly walking up the beach path at Off The Wall just at the perfect moment to see Chris score this perfect little barrel riding an old single fin from the 70's. The memory and vision is engrained in my head still to this day. It took me a few years to get around to painting it so I could truly do that vision justice.

Well, here is the piece. Let me know what you think of it!

Surf Girl by Hawaii Surf Artist Heather Brown

I am often asked about my early works. While for years I worked in charcoals, sketching, and printmaking. When I attended the University of Hawaii at Manoa I really opened my eyes to more color and the joy of painting. In school you learn to work with "studies" where you may do 5-10+ pieces of the same image with minor changes and details. "Surf Girl" was one of those pieces that I did an extensive study of (this also happened to be when I really got into surfing on a daily basis in Waikiki between and after classes) The first ever "Surf Girl" was an intaglio print. The piece here was the final rendition. This piece has been in my lineup for close to 14 years now. I sometimes toy with the idea of discontinuing it, but then I look back at it and it brings me so much joy. That is exactly why I make art, with the hopes of bringing Happiness to the viewer, so I hope this does the same for you. Aloha and MAHALO for all of your continued support over the years. I look forwards to many more years creating art and have been busy working on some big new pieces for 2015!
