Sheila & Jenna Fein Art Exhibit
Tuesday, May 11-Sunday, June 20
Mixed Media

Sheila’s work is a unique study of the imagination.  Dreamlike, whimsical and fantastical, her art is filled with bright, provocative images.  She uses acrylics, oil, airbrush, color pencil, pastels and collage work. 

“Each medium brings a new form of expression and style.”

Jenna is a graduate from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.  In 2004, she was fortunate enough to travel for a study trip to France, where she concentrated in Impressionism and French Contemporary Art.

Although Jenna is always painting, she is currently pursuing a career as a graphic designer.

Roland Roy Art Exhibit
Tuesday, August 3-Sunday, September 12
Oils

Roland Roy was born and raised in Honolulu. His interest in art developed after his stint with the Honolulu Police Department.  As a young police officer in Honolulu, his very job would be the key to opening doors to art.  To calm himself to a peaceful existence, he used his spare time at the Academy of Arts in Honolulu, where art became his sanctuary, a direction he never thought he could take.

He eventually quit police work and ventured to a new career.  Design and television would become his mainstay in art which led him to numerous awards in film and television.  Soon after he retired he was able to concentrate on his true love, fine art.

He explores all facets of art from music to poetry, sculpting to stage plays. As he explains it, “I want to touch, to feel everything.” And he does.

Sonny Dawoodjee Art Exhibit
Tuesday, September 14-Sunday, October 24
Mixed Media

Sonny started to experiment with acrylics about 10 years ago and his fascination quickly grew to different mediums, including painting with water mixable oil, watercolor and pastels. As a hobby and for stress relief, Sonny gets together with friends every week to paint. He most enjoys painting landscapes and portraits of his family.

“I am so busy trying to find and match colors, that I forget all of my worries and problems during the creative process.”

Joey Wester
