About The Artist
Steve Rinaldi, Maui Resident since 2000 and Designer/Drafter, returns to oil painting after a 20 year hiatus of raising a family. His Painterly style is representational and locally inspired, with his portraits revealing the essence of an individual and his landscapes inspiring a sense of light and awe. Steve’s current ambition is to become proficient at “Alla Prima” painting; creating a finished artwork in a single, one day session. His prolific, “Alla Prima” driven style is evident throughout many of his charcoal sketches and oil paintings. Self-taught, Steve began his artist career in Oregon at the age of 14. Over the years, he has supplemented his knowledge and experience with artists workshops from Vincent Ciglia, Ispra, Italy; David Gray, Whidbey Island, Washington; and, on Maui, Patrick McGowan, Dick Nelson, Carmen Gardner, Daniel Gerhartz, and Mary Whyte.

About The Artist
Stacy Vosberg has been an artist as long as she can remember. An early family photo shows her at about four years old, at the living room coffee table, already with a paint brush in her hand. For Stacy, creating art has never been a conscious choice or an option. Rather, it is her unique wellspring of creativity that truly defines her as a person. And the process of creating art comes as naturally to her as spoken language.
Stacy’s colorful paintings, drawings and murals are represented in numerous public and private fine art collections throughout the United States, Europe, Central America, Japan, and Australia.
Stacy lives on the beautiful island of Maui and enjoys various exotic travel venues that continue to inspire and enhance her creativity.

Neola Caveny lives on an entirely solar powered tropical flower farm in Huelo, Maui.

All of the patterns and subjects she uses on her beautiful pieces have a traditional Hawaiian background and she uses the wood burning techniques she first learned to do on kukui nuts. In ancient Hawaii, gourds were used for cooking, musical instruments and headdresses and were often highly decorated using the same time consuming techniques as are still used to this day.

About The Artist
“Light is the subject matter of my newer paintings. Without light we would not have color. How much light, placement and direction of light, create the story of light. The change of value, temperature, color, and edges is what gives the subjects of my paintings dimension.
In Hawaii, I do what the Hawaiians do. “Talking story” is what we say when we want to get together and share stories. My stories are my paintings I share with you.
Christine has taught at the University of Rochester’s Creative Workshop at the Memorial Art Gallery and has conducted workshops and given talks at various art clubs across the country. She currently works part time at Maui Hands art gallery which keeps her connected to customers from all over the world as well as learning about other artists and how they create their art. When she’s not painting, she’s usually outside hiking, biking, swimming in the ocean, tending her garden, or at yoga.”

Artist Statement
I make art because, for a while, I am transported to a fantasy world of my own creation. I’ve often wondered if I could be more practical, less of a dreamer. However, every time I’ve thought of giving away my paints it felt like I was dying. My paintings celebrate and explore man and womankind. My journey as an artist is inspired by the light that imbues one’s life when one pursues their joy.
