Come see the latest works by the Pastel Artists of Hawaii (PAH), including a tribute to a recently deceased member.
PAH is a Hawaii-wide group of artists who produce works using soft, sometimes known as dry, pastels. The pieces must consist of at least 80% soft pastel. Used for hundreds of years by the likes of Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, Pablo Picasso, and Pierre-August Renoir, soft pastels are nothing more than pigment (or color) held in a stick form by a minimum amount of binder, allowing the artists many ways of applying and manipulating the color.
In addition to sharing recent works by member artists, this exhibit will include a memorial tribute to former member and strong supporter Mary Philpotts-McGrath. Mary often hosted group meetings and workshops at her estate in Nu`uanu as well as exhibits in her store PLACE. Her works often won awards in juried shows and PAH is honored to be able to borrow several works from her estate for this exhibit.
