The show is finally hung! I can't believe all the stuff I have! From the 50's and 60's to the present, personal statement art to Oceanic Arts samples. Also my kids and grandkids have displayed a bit of there talents. We are frantically getting ready for the two receptions on the 3rd and the 17th hope you all can make it to one of them. Art, goodies, music, and Ohano
Whittier Art Gallery is open Wed thru Sun 12:00-5:00 p.m. Come any time

I really enjoyed the show. What an incredibly talented family.
I always appreciate it when a gallery offers prints or cards featuring the artist's work for those of us who can't always afford an original.

We just got back from whittier and I have to say I am even more impressed with Leroys skills as an artist then ever. We all know his tikis and polynesian creations are amazing, but I had no idea that he sculpts and paints in many different styles and formats. My wife and I were awe struck at the paintings, pen and inks and the really cool cochina dolls and wooden birds! In addition to his awesome works, were the works of his extended family too! both children and grandchildren. Each one's work amazing as the next. Each very much an artist in their own right. One VERY talented family.
It was good to see a decent TC presence (even with tiki invasion going on), to get a chance to chat with Leroy and Bob (such great and friendly people!) and listen to polynesian drumming and dancing. Good times!
I'm bummed I won't be able to make it on the 17th, but for those of you going, you're going to have a blast!
Thanks Leroy and family, the OA crew, and TC ohana for a fun evening! I hope your art show goes very well!

A few of my favorites.
Being that LeRoy is pretty much Living, Walking, Tiki, It was awesome to see his "Escape From Tiki" abstracts and sculptures.
2 shaka's up!!!

Congratulations Leroy!! What a tremendous show! We can't wait to come on the 17th. We really wanted to come yesterday but my parents were visiting from Oregon and they were not up for the full day outing that it would have been combining the show and a visit to Oceanic Arts. But we will be there an the 17th and can not wait!!!
Very Best,
Gem and Mark
