Aloha Friends and Art Lovers!

Did you miss me?

It has been a few months since my last newsletter and blog due to some health challenges. Don’t worry, they are resolving now. In December I had chosen some of my favorite work of the last year to make into affordable metal prints for The Maui Open Studios Event in February 2022, but, alas, between the rising COVID numbers and my health, I chose not to participate at the last minute. So, here we are, in April and NO ONE has enjoyed the great little metal prints!

Diving in to the introspection that comes with December and the Winter Solstice. Keep reading for some of our most inspiring and colorful quotes!

This month’s “color” is a feeling: gratefulness for the many things we love. Dancing, food, nature, the sea — so much colorful life to appreciate!

Sometimes, a new word is required to communicate a special concept. So this month, in our year of ‘Color as Curative',’ we naturally selected Orange and it was a logical next step to celebrate all things “Orangetober!”

In September, we are filling up on peachy pink art! The works span over 30 years of Hermine Harman’s paintings! Come absorb some pink joy with us.

For August, we celebrate the color black! It contains all the other colors and brings power, strength, and clarity to so many areas of our lives. It brings so much contrast to other colors, too. Look at black art by Maui artist, Hermine Harman.

New original fruit paintings now available at Tutu’s Pantry on Maui. (Tutu means grandmother in Hawaiian.) Created as a collaboration between Maui artists, Hermine Harman and Liat Choucroun.

Turquoise is our color for July! Bring on the mermaids, the sparkling seas, the many delights of water and sky! Let’s celebrate summer and brightness, vivacious and affirming. See Maui Artist, Hermine Harman’s work here.

For June, we bring you purple, the blend of read and blue, energy and peace, to inspire all things creative and whimsical and unique to the Royal You! Purple is a long favorite of Hermine Harman, Maui artist. See her purple art and find your inner eclectic.

May is the month of yellow, spring is solidly here, and the radiance warms us in this new post, talking about Color as Curative. Painting above is Pizza Party.

In our year long color series, this is April. Yes, April brings showers and we like to think of this as a waterfall of BLUE.

New small artworks in the online gallery shop for Maui Artist, Hermine Harman! So many to choose from, many with nature themes, and you can receive one for free with the purchase of three!

Green is our color this month and it brings post-Covid renewal! Read about my new Medusa sculpture, covered in snakes & crystals, plus, my new painting, Quan Yin and Her Protector.

Let’s look closely into the advantages of collecting both original works of art and reproductions. Each has its benefits. Reproductions have a special set of requirements and also opportunities beyond that of original artworks.

This year, we are taking ‘Color as Curative’ in some new directions! Each month will feature a new color. Naturally, we are starting with Red in February. ❤️

I’m starting a new series of irreverent goddess paintings, full of color, spunk, and depth.

Join me for a Zoom event with other artists and a poet about how we pour grief into our art and come out with healing on the other side.

Giving small works of art is a creative and generous way to let others know you care. We can help!

Join us on Instagram @hermine.harman.art for a 12-week contest where Hermine gives away several of her colorful artworks!

I’ve created a very different artwork while sheltering in place these last few months! What started as an anxiety-inducing COVID shutdown of much of my normal activities turned into a very large triptych, that is colorful and shiny and harmonically helped restore my native optimism. It’s another example of how art gives back.
