People’s Choice ballots were counted for Saturday’s Banyan Drive Art Stroll and the winners are Ailana DeHavilland for “Aloha ‘Oe,” Kornelius Schorle for “Autumn Colors in Hilo,” Mary Goodrich for “Moon Bridge” and Vivian Ursula Bratton for “Beneath Sunset Lights.”
“More than 70 works of art were entered in a competition with juror Dick Nelson,” said Jelena Clay, one of the Banyan Drive Art Stroll organizers. “The theme was ‘Celebrate Lili‘uokalani: The Queen and Her Legacy.’”
“Nearly 430 people visited the exhibit in the Grand Naniloa Hotel,” said organizer Ken Goodrich. “Of the 328 ballots cast, ‘Aloha ‘Oe’ was the overwhelming choice.”
“There was a crowd gathered around this piece all day,” said Bonnie Sol, another organizer.
Winners will receive gift certificates from Akamai Art Supply and Cunningham Gallery.
The art stroll was sponsored by Friends of Lili‘uokalani Gardens, Banyan Gallery, Paradise Helicopters, Akamai Art Supply, Cunningham Gallery, Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Grand Naniloa Hotel and Suisan Fish Market.
This was the first of a series of events to celebrate the centennial of Lili‘uokalani Gardens. For more information about coming events, visit the Friends of Lili‘uokalani Gardens Facebook page.
