Artist Statement
Drawings and Paintings by
Therese Cipiti Herron
Solo Show SDAI July 23, 2010 to August 22, 2010
"It's summer. Relax. Flip flops. Hang loose and Hula! I became hardwired to the beat of the Epu (gourd drum) under the direction of Kumu Hula Leinaala Olsen in 2007. This Hula Series began by asking myself two questions: What is it that makes me want to do it? Answer: To get past certain associations with it, i.e., Kitsch or Hawaiiana you see everywhere. How do I make a painting that addresses that? Answer: Movement with use of curves and flats, protrusions and recessions, crudeness and delicacy, repetition and patterns, lines and forms that seduce the eye without being too literal. The hula sister/brotherhood is happiness without cost. Hang loose and slip into the hula dancers mind. Mahalo."
Therese's Nursing series from her last Solo show "Uniformed" has been published in Patricia Donahue's 2010 publication "Nursing the Finest Art" as well as included in International Juried Exhibitions at SDAI, William D. Cannon Biennials, Athenaeum’s Annuals, Boehm Gallery, and National Magazine publications. She is also a juried member of West Coast Drawing at www.westcoastdrawing.com. Therese also plays ukulele with the Hawaiian organization Hui O Hawaii.
