Come meet the artists at Kahilu Theatre during the Opening Reception of exhibitions by contemporary masters Brook Kapūkuniahi Parker and Edwin Kayton.

Edwin Kayton has been living and creating on Hawaiʻi Island for the past 50 years. Classically trained in various painting and sculpting techniques, Kayton’s artistry has been inspired by Hawaiʻi’s histories and guided by cultural practitioners. Sharing the Journey features artworks celebrating Paniolo heritage, historical maritime events, geological wonders, and Hawaiʻi’s cultural practices.

Brook Kapūkuniahi Parker is a distinguished kānaka maoli artist, historian, and genealogist who traces his lineage to Parker Ranch and Kamehameha the Great. Parker is renowned for creating dramatic scenes of storied warriors, aliʻi, and places. Honoring Our Ancestors presents recent paintings and features new works that celebrate the moʻolelo of the kūpuna of Waimea.
