Honolulu, Hawaii — Internationally renowned artist and friend of Supersonic Art Kamea Hadar just completed a 14-story portrait of the Hawaiian Goddess of the Moon, Hina - The largest portrait in the state’s history (and arguably the most beautiful).

“It was inspired by the sacred canoe Hokulea and its historic journey around the earth named ‘Malama Honua’ which translates to ‘Caring for Our Island Earth’” explains Hadar of the portrait that faces outwards towards Pearl Harbor.  “The voyage not only pushes the boundaries of non-instrumental navigation (using only the sun, waves, winds, stars, birds, etc to navigate) but, also, was a voyage of spreading awareness of taking care of our precious earth and its natural resources.  I did a series of projects honoring Hokulea when she left on Malama Honua and I wanted the piece to be a guiding light for Hokulea’s return, [finishing it] only a few weeks before they arrived safely home after more than three years at sea.”

Take an extended look at the epic mural’s creation along with a short video on the project below:

Miniature Landscapes by Heidi Annalise

Heidi Annalise is the Colorado-based artist behind these 2x3-inch tiny oil painting, joyfully created on site amidst mosquitos, blistering heat, and frigid winds! Each painting captures a unique moment in time, and is painted on a wooden panel using a “mint tin palette”.

Splendid watercolor paintings in a Folk Art inspired style by artist Marni Manning.  

Several of these works will be appearing in her exhibition entitled “Woman, These Are Yours” opening in May in Charlotte, North Carolina.  The exhibition, which deals with polarizing roles women are forced into at home and in working environments, is a collaborative effort between Marni and the poet A.C. Odell.  You can find more details about it on Marni’s website.
