Going Green with Andrea Dean

Want to have a painting of me (but looking younger, more exotic and with bigger boobs) hanging in your living room? Here it is:






My portrait is a part (small part!) of Peter’s new show in the Living Arts Gallery in Hawi. There will be an artist’s reception from 5 to 9 p.m. on Aug. 28 at Living Arts Gallery, which is located on the main street of historic Hawi, 55-3435 Akoni Pule Highway, No. 10. You can come see the show until mid-September- the gallery is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For more information, call 889-0739.

Sometimes my life has a dreamlike quality to it. In the midst of my daily juggling act to keep all of my balls in the air, very often beautiful little miracles appear. I say YES and find myself having a unique experience- surrounded by incredible natural beauty and fantastic people. Yesterday was one of those days. Artist and ecology educator Peter Antrim Kowalke asked me to join him and his Art In Sight Board of Directors aboard a sail on the Maile. The wind was light and we did more motoring than sailing, but the water was this incredible indigo color, we saw lots of whale tail, and the company was great. I always appreciate the shift in mental perspective that I get from seeing the islands from the water. It is like looking at life’s challenges from another angle to gain new perspective. Look from above, look from below, look from the water.
