Painting Workshop with Meala Bishop

Immerse yourself in a vibrant still life acrylic painting workshop with the subject matter ipu & kukui (Hawaiian gourd & kukui plant) on canvas taught by Meala Bishop. The workshop will begin with an inspiring talk story session with Danny Bishop, exploring the significance of canoe plants and food sovereignty and their deep connections to land and sustenance. Participants will then carry this ʻike (knowledge) into a guided painting session with Meala, creating their own meaningful still life inspired by culture, resilience, and abundance.

All ages are welcome, and no prior painting experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and creativity.
