Sculptor Michael Shewmaker has spent the last 15 years building an iconic three acre sculpture garden in Pepeʻekeo. Working in collaboration with photographer and book designer, Andrzej Kramarz, and renowned curator, Thomas Moran, they have created a unique, innovative book on the work and garden.

 

Please join us for this free event on December 2nd for the launch of Vita: Sculptor at work on an Active Volcano. Michael, Andrzej, and EHCC chair Stephen Freedman, will introduce the book, display the works photographed, discuss sculpture and the emergence of the Big Island as a hub for art in Hawaiʻi.

 

The book will be specially priced for the event at a discounted price of $40 with an artist signing to follow. All proceeds benefit EHCC.

 

The first 20 attendees will have an opportunity to participate in an artist led tour of the sculpture garden in Pepeʻekeo (no transportation provided). Details will be arranged following the event.
