Series 3 is an ocean theme by local artist Sam Clemens, curated by Spanky Kenney, wife of Ed Kenney, is now up and runs until August 1st. With the warm weather here,
“Tiki's, canoes & tattoo's” art exhibition is a perfect way to start your summer.
This art display will feature a wide variety of art mediums, including acrylic on canvas & wood, handmade koa wood canoe paddles, painted tiki's on driftwood & handcarved tiki's, digital images done on adobe photoshop, and much more. The bright and colorful images and subject matter for Sam's art is inspired from his daily life adventures: surfing, canoe sailing, hiking, mountain biking, and daydreaming. Especially the daydreaming!!!!
The handpainted tiki's are my favorite...they are fun and whimsical.

Sam's art is so positive and bright, and his style is one of a kind. He is a very talented guy. I met Sam once when he was in Arizona for his wedding. This guy will go far.
