MAUI HANDS OF LAHAINA PRESENTS:
WATERCOLOR ARTIST, LUANA KAMA
Every Tuesday in February from 4:30-7:30pm
at Maui Hands Gallery
612 Front Street
Lahaina, HI 96761
COME WATCH LUANA WORK ON ONE OF HER NEWEST WORKS OF ART.
“My name is Luana Kama and I love to paint! I enjoy painting with watercolor… I find it fascinating to see the pigments and water flow on paper. My favorite subjects to paint are people and flowers.
I started taking classes several years ago when I became semi-retired. I had a wonderful teacher and found myself falling in love with watercolor painting and the various techniques that can be used to get different effects. I have not stopped painting since and still take classes. I have done commission work and have paintings on sale at Maui Hands Lahaina.
I have lived in Lahaina most of my life and attended Kamehameha III School and Lahainaluna High School. I am part Hawaiian on my mom’s side and “Haole” on my dad’s side. I have always loved art and did take classes throughout my life but when I got married and started to raise my family (5 boys), drawing and painting were pushed to the side.
Today, I’m still living in Lahaina and having a great time painting like crazy. My other interests are sewing, reading, cooking and baking, crafts, and I take classes and teach Hula.”
MAUI HANDS OF LAHAINA PRESENTS:
PHOTOGRAPHER, SANDRA GREENBERG
Every Sunday in February from 10AM – 6PM
at Maui Hands Gallery
612 Front Street
Lahaina, HI 96761
A COLLECTION OF HER PHOTOGRAPHS FROM AROUND THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS WILL BE ON DISPLAY.
A Native New Yorker, Sandra had the opportunity to see the world from a multicultural vantage point, one she has always valued. That was one of the reasons Sandra and her husband finally settled down in Maui in 2007, after spending every summer on the island since 1990. Maui was the perfect island. Sandra studied painting and photography at Cooper Union in NYC and Art Therapy at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. It wasn’t until she came to Maui was she able to put some of that knowledge to use after 36 years as an educator. Spending time with the whales and honu brought her peace and awe at the wonders of nature, thus, creating the inspiration to photograph the beauty and movement of these animals in their environment. The journey started with her best friend and husband Martin, but the stars have her continuing with her faithful dog Mana.

She paints “Tropical Expressions” of underwater sea life, landscapes with turquoise waters, heavenly moon, sunbeams and rainbow bridges that connect heaven to earth. Her fine art paintings are executed on canvas and most recently on metal.
