Kim McDonald Art Gallery

Hawai'i and the South Pacific’s pre-eminent artist, according to a friend, Kim McDonald "eats, sleeps and breathes the tropics, and then somehow magically transforms her experience into art.” It's true! Whether paddle boarding in Maui, outrigger canoeing or journeying up jungle trails to Maui’s breathtaking waterfalls, Kim McDonald revels in the lush beauty and excitement of the islands — both as an acute observer and enthusiastic participant. Perhaps that is why her works resonate so deeply. Because she doesn't just paint what she sees, she paints what she knows. Kim has spent decades exploring: the uncanny light and shadows, the liquid moon, the impossibly lush colors and fragrances, the rich, strange music of the surf and reef, the exhilaration of being an active part of it all — Kim knows her islands.
