EDL Posse


The EDL Posse 'Funny Faces'


Creative Session

The best and brightest of Maui's young artists gathered at Kihei Charter School on November 9, 2007 to begin cusomizing Every Day Light: A celebration of the International Year of the Reef 2008. Mahalo to participants: Forrest, Toby (all the way from Hana), Bailey, Dana, Heather, Colton, Rachel, Kyla, Courtney & Tyer for attending. The participants met one another, previewed IMax film Coral Reef Adventures, showcased their art & learned about the cultural significance of the reef with the ever fabulous Kawai Kuluhiwa.

After individually creating a design about what they wish to see preserved in our ocean, the members formed four groups and each group developed a design with the overall theme of celebrating and preserving our precious reef. The participants had many wonderful ideas...stay tuned to Every Day Light to see how this creativity and dedication manifests into a beautful mirror and tile mosaic.

Here is a photo of mosaic artist, Isaiah Zagar, taking a photo of me, Rachelle Quinn. I met Isaiah in October of 2006 and this is when I asked Isaiah if he would come to Maui to conduct a workshop! I am so happy Isaiah agreed...
