Dear Residents and Visitors to Maui,
It is with great pride and pleasure that we welcome
you to the tenth annual Art Maui. This show is the result of a
full year of planning and preparation by over 100 volunteer
who are dedicated to supporting quality art in Maui County.
For the next two weeks we honor the artist whose
works have been selected to represent Art Maui '88. Each
individual piece has been judged, and will be viewed and
admired for its own uniqueness. In this, our tenth year we
salute the artists whose endeavors touch our lives.
We encourage all of you to take the time to visit Art
Maui '88 and share in the experiences intrinsic to each piece
exhibited in the show.
Aloha,

The Jurors
Ruth Tamura
Ruth Tamura brings to the Art Maui Jury a broad base of experience in Art Administration from both Hawaii and California. She received her BA and MA from
California College of Art and Crafts and her MFA from Mills College. Ms. Tamura
than became Community Art coordinator and Docent Training Instructor at the de
Young Museum in San Francisco.
In 1975 Ms. Tamura moved to Honolulu to accept the position of curator of
Extension Services at the Honolulu Academy ofArts. In 1982 she served as Executive Director for the Visual Arts Consortium, a statewide visual arts advocacy
organization. Ms. Tamura later became Chief Aide and Committee Clerk for
Senator James Aki, chairman of the Senate Committee on Culture and Art.
Currently she is the Project Coordinator of the Archive project for Hawaii Public
television.
Ruth Tamura says of the jurying process: " I feel that the creation of works of
art involves the invention and juxtaposition of craftsmen ship and sensitivity of a
spirit. As ajuror, I seek out the artistic spirit of the art work that speaks of its creator and being created."
Glenn Brill
Glenn Brill offers to the Art Maui jury a wide range of educational and
professional experience. He received a B.A. in psychology from Moravian College
in 1970 followed by a BFA in Painting from California College of Arts and Crafts,
a Tamarind Master Printer from Tamarind Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico,
and his MFA in Printmaking from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan in 1979.
At present Mr. Brill is an instructor at San Francisco S tate University teaching Printmaking, Lithography and Monoprinting.
In the past ten years his work has appeared in over flfty exhibitions across the
United States and has been acquired by numerous collections including: the
Brooklyn Museum, Phoenix Art Museum, San Jose Museum of Art, I.B.M.
Corporation, Boca Raton, Florida, A.T. & T. Educational Center, Atlanta, GA., and
Jack Lenor Larsen. He was a recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts,
Visual Artists Fellowship Grant in 1982 and 1986.
Mr. Brill gave the following statement of his views of art as a juror: "We live
a time where infonnation, technology and the speed with which they can be communicated are responsible for much of the ecclecticism we have seen in the art
world. It has contributed to the rapid spread of 'art styles'. We've gone from realism
to abstraction, to found art to anti-art, back to realism and once again to abstraction
in less than fifty years. What's next? I believe it is to leave behind part of your soul,
your signature, your moment of truth. Works of power and interest have within
them an element of risk, of entering unknown territory and then coming through to
the other side whole, intact. Originality comes from within the work. It is a response
to one's environment. The concept is not of utmost importance, nor is the technique,
nor the size, nor the medium, but the combination of all work in harmony. A piece
of art, is a work of art when upon viewing it we feel within ourselves - YES."
Suzanne Wolfe
Suzanne Wolfe came to Hawaii in 1971, after receiving her MFA from the
University of Michigan. Currently she is a professor of Ceramics at the University 0 f Hawa ii and a highly acclaimed ceramist.
Ms. Wolfe's art work has been in seventy-four exhibitions since 1972. These
shows include many juried exhibits such as Hawaii Craftsman Annual. In 1981 she
was awarded the University of Hawaii, Chancellor's Office Faculty Enrichment
award for Professional Development. She also has been the recipient of numerous
purchase awards from the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, the Honolulu
Academy of Arts, and the Contemporary Arts Center.
Ms. Wolfe's juror statement is as follows:"The art world has changed drastically over the last decade. Previous criteria for assessing work seems to no longer
hold. More and more I find myself drawn to work that addresses issues and ideas
rather than fonn and technique."

DAVID RIDGWAY, '88 POSTER ARTIST - - - By Maybelle Boyd
David Ridgway, watercolorist, looked out of the helicopter flying over
Maui and exclaimed, "My god, I think it's going to work!"
Below him were patterned fields which he could envision translating into
abstracts or semi-abstracts in the tri-hue technique he had been working on so hard.
Until that moment, Ridgway had been painting stripes, "trying to get this tri-hue
working for me."
"Tri-hue was a means of simplifying what I was going to say, so it made
it easier for me to say it To master it, I had to brad things up into simpler shapes
and make them more abstract."
The tri-hue system, which he learned from artist-education Richard
Nelson, is an interaction of only three colors - red, yellow, and blue-layered one
over another. "All the colors seems to know about themselves in the tri-hue system,
rather than eight or 10 different colors that don't relate to each other," said
Ridgway.
"The Dinghies," Art Maui "88's poster selection which appears on the
cover of this supplement, is a tri-hue painting. Ridgway worked from a photograph, simplifying the shapes and subtracting extraneous details. "To make a
painting come alive from a photo, you have to worry about your composition and
make the painting look like you're using binocular vision. A photo is one eye, but
when you look at something with two eyes, you almost start to see around
something, and it's important to get that illusion."
"The Dinghies" was one of three pieces selected for Art Maui '87, each
representing a series he is working on now.
The second piece, "Horse Farm, Makawao," an aerial view of an upcountry landscape, was purchased by the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts.
The third, "Ascending Hawaiian Shirt Fish," like his other paintings of
schooling fish, combines fantasy and reality, color and motion. "The fish paintings
carne from a simple exercise in atmosphere, how objects as they recede back into
light or water take on the color of the atmosphere they're in. Iactually put the color
of the water into the fish before I paint it."
At times he injects a touch of humor in his art, although he says "I don't
intentionally set out to make a point" Some fish in a school have no eyes-"I don't
know why." Grazing cows are seen from their hind sides. A sailor sneaks a peek
at his female boating companion's attributes.
Ridgway prefers watercolors to oils, for "the white of the paper shows
through and gives a glow and transparency only inherent in that medium." He flfst
turned to watercolors for convenience while living on a boat in the Caribbean. "I
could take a little palette, a couple of brushes, some paper, and a jar or water and
that's all I needed."
He began playing with watercolors seven or eight years ago. "I would
recommend people (who want to get into watercolors)getting to know what the
paints will do on the paper. Play with the brush and paint before doing a painting.
treat it more as oil when you flfst start"
Water is an important element in his paintings, for he had always lived
along the coast in Oregon and Maine. His father expected him to be in the same
field as his scientist father, but Ridgway found himself moving away from science
to at and eventually majored in art the the University of Maine for a while before
dropping out.
Reflecting on his decision to leave school, Ridgway admits "I was more
interested in being a rebel with my art. They (his art teachers) wanted me to paint
what they wanted, draw what they wanted, stay within the boundary so I could
come up with a foundation to work on. I realize now what they were trying to do.
I've since had to do that on my own through workshops and life drawing groups
and by getting together with other artists."
After traveling for a while, he worked as a shipfitter at a shipyard, then
became a welder, "thinking I would learn the trade and do metal sculptures
someday." As it turned out, he was a welder for six-and-a-half years.
When he finally left the shipyard, he worked on a 6O-foot ketch that
cruised the Caribbean and ended up doing charters out of St. Croix, where he met
his wife, Ginger. "She's been a big help getting me going on my art; very
supportive. Both our families have been supportive."
In November of 1984, they visited Maui for a month and fell in love with
the island. He started painting more than he ever had before-"very small
paintings" of seascapes and harbor scenes. When he took them to the Lahaina Art
Society and three of them sold before they got on the wall, "I said maybe this is
where I should be." They went home, packed, and returned to Maui in January.
The artwork is now much larger and "so simplified, it's changed a lot."
His watercolors hang in the Village Galleries, Lahaina; Coast Gallery, InterContinental Hotel in Wailea; Gallery Makai, Kihei; and Hana Gardenland.
Since 1985, when " I started painting seriously," Ridgway has shown in
many juried and one-man shows and has received several awards. One was for Best
Watercolor in the 1986 statewide juried exhibition of the Lahaina Art Society, and
for Best of Show in the 1987 exhibit.

art classes, three journeys to Europe to study cathedrals, and seven
years of directing an art gallery in Kansas comprise my art education.
A hunger for viewing art and a thirst for anthropological study of
magic and religion in imagery motivate me. Having spent a few year
tapping into the art and energy of northern New Mexico, I now enjoy
the contrasting environment of upcountry MauL I draw both livelihood and inspiration from protea farming farming and thrive on this
close connection to the earth. I make art to satisfy a need to see
images that form in my thoughts. And I'm thankful for life's
opportunities which have allowed me access to this process."

which is not only useful, but beautiful as well. Bowls are a wonderful
form of artistic expression because they add the dimensions of touch

attractive work."

sometimes provocative, 'objects of contempl-ation,' such works
may appeal to, or expand, our sense of beauty, or they may be
difficult to accept. Sometimes they seem to be intentionally ambivalent. But all give rise to wonderful opportunities to reflect upon what
is 'real', what is 'meaningful' whether as artist or observer, if we
really work at it, all our lives are enriched."

viewer."

Fine Arts 1980-1984. "I grew up out in the country and grew with an
appreciation for the raw forces in nature. I'm attracted to extremes
whether it be the center of a metropolis or a eucalyptus forest on
Olinda Road. Forme, when there is a union between my inner world
and my outer environment, a struggle takes place to carry out the idea,
and a painting is formed."

He received his B.A. from the University of Wisconsin. "Concepts
or ideas arrived at from what we think may be an abstraction can
eventually, in time, become truths rooted in history. This thinking is
not confined within the parameters of what we now define as visual
art. Ideas, concepts or notions unknown to us are brought before us
by those willing to take the responsibility. That is the contribution."

are alike. She draws the shape first, and selects the materials as she
goes along.
CHARLESE.McELREA
"MYSTIC HARBOUR"
wood
$1,300
Born in Dallas, Iowa, November 22, 1922, Mr. McElrea received an
Associate of Arts degree from Long Beach City College, Long
Beach, CA. He studied under Master Carver Clay Johnston in in San
Diego, CA 1985 - 1986. Self taught in marquetry. "As a boy, I
developed a great love for wood while watching my grandfather
carve beautiful pieces. After that, a piece of wood was never 'just'
wood to me, but a sculpture not yet carved. Depending on its grain,
its shape, its unique character, it would be an eagle, a dolphin,
perhaps a sailboat. The woods I use for marquetry become mountains, trees, even water. Nature gives us beautiful wood. It's
satisfying to use them to create items of beauty.
P.J.MOORE
"HUKI"
pastel with watercolor
$750
Born March 1, 1951, Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. Self-taught artist,
oil paints and soft pastels. From a mud hut in Africa I painted people;

paint fast enough. A Chinese poet once said, "We poets struggle with
non-being to force it to yield being. We knock upon the silence for
an answering music."

Born in Silverton, Oregon in 1944, Darrell received his B.A. from

ROYREZENDE
"FIRST DAY"

$725
Roy was born in Trinidad, West Indies in 1928. He attended Harrisons College in Barbados. "I view my own 'art' as an attempt to
record that action or scene whioh has met my own criteria of beauty
and interest. Somehow, the process of doing this with oil paint
produces more fulfllment than taking a photograph. The discipline
of trying to achieve true color, light and composition, seems to make
me a part of a magical moment. It provides an unfounded but pleasurable personal sense of creation"

David Sacco was born August 22,1956 in Buffalo, New York. He
attended Buffalo State College and is a self taught jeweler. "I love
for others to enjoy and be inspired by my work - whether it be by its
idea, technical execution or value and quality. When this exchange
of joy and mutual admiration takes place, then two sould have met.
It's this and these moments that I live for: Enjoy my work, it
expresses my soul's development, its my pleasure to be here for
you!!"

Julie Schoenecker lives in Upcountry Maui and has her printmaking
studio there. "I like to work with natural form because the process of
nature continually changes those forms. Printmaking is also a
process of change. To be a printmaker one has to love its process, not
be in a hurry for the result. I try to strike a balance between
organization and spontaniety and to respond to what is evolving.
When I move past the object to the essence, I have succeeded. "

If they hold water, or oil, or grain.

But all my pieces are functional, if
they hold - your attention.
ANN UYEHARA
"GEORGIA ON MY MIND"
watercolor
$400
Born January 27, 1951 in Hilo, Hawaii, raised on Maui, graduated
from California College of Arts and Crafts. "For me art is the
challenge of capturing the feelings that certain scenes, and inanimate
objects brought together, evoke in me. If! can combine the color, the
composition,and the execution in harmony and sustain this emotion,
then I have satisfied myself. If I have been skillful enough, and the
work elicits a similar response in others, then I have succeeded in a
special kind of sharing. This is the test that tells me if the picture
works."
DA VID VITARELLI
"BOWL"

$450
"BOWL"
wood/mother of pearl $380
Born in Illinoois in 1947, Mr. Vitarelli studied sculpture at Art
Students League, N. Y. He apprenticed for two years with a Japanese
potter and continued his study of sculpture at Antioch College in
Ohio. "Man's two greatest inventions are the chain saw and ice
cream - I begin by roughing out the bowls with the chain saw and
when fmished, I enjoy filling them with Hagan Daz coffee or sorbet
- maybe even chocolate chip ......."
BILL WORCESTER
"CLOUDS"
glass
$750
Born September 20, 1941 in Oberlin, Ohio. Received a B.S. in
Biology at Ashland College and a M.S. in Oceanography from the
University of Hawaii. Became a self-taught glass blower in 1970.
"My pieces are made without the use of molds, and are often
sculptural works with geologic influences. I am particularly interested in the external forms and the surface textures and surface
designs of my works."
NANCY YOUNG
"NAPILI SKY"
acrylic
$750
"Born in California and raised near the sea, I spent many of my early
summers on my grandparents' Dakota farm among the Ogalala
Sioux. I went to the University of New Mexico for my bachelor's
Fine Arts/Painting, traveled in Mexico and Central America, and
returned to Southern California. In 19741 sailed away to Tahiti. And
except for a three year, 30,000 mile voyage (1978-1981), I've been
on Maui since then. Since 1984 I've been concentrating more on fine
arts. It is, I guess, my next ten year plan; to paint and draw and paint
some more."
