HONOLULU BIENNIAL | LAUNCHING MARCH 8 - MAY 8, 2017
Eric is volunteering with the Honolulu Biennial as a docent; allowing to see the project come together before the general public! He's been great; teaching me about some of the most exciting International Artists I've ever seen- AND!!!!! I'VE EVER MET! Yes! Their not-even-finished installation brought me to tears! This is Alfredo and Isabel Aquilizan: a Filipino husband-and-wife team from the Philippines based out of Australia. I've never reacted to art like that *ever* but their unfinished installation instantly triggered memories of my childhood and the journey my father took to become an American citizen which has resulted in 4 generations of Filipino-Americans! Thanks Pops (um, even though you're a total curmudgeon) and also, thank you Alfredo and Isabel for your deeply emotional work. Last night I brought them coconut water kape (coffee), dark chocolate covered saba (banana) and some relics of my childhood, hoping that they will incorporate it into their installation. We'll find out when the Honolulu Biennial opens on Wednesday!

Painting Instructors for Loading Zone Arts!
On Saturday, March 5th, we accepted positions as Painting Instructors for Loading Zone Arts! So exciting!

You can sign up at www.LoadingZoneArts.com and because you're our friends; you get a $10 discount! Our discount code is DXDP. The original composition was envisioned by Eric and was sold for full price on etsy! So, we decided that this should be our first composition to teach: it's called "Leahi's Vision." The concept is it is the iconic Diamond Head, remembering itself as a keiki.
