Honolulu-based artist--and my good friend--Pegge Hopper--much loved for her paintings of iconic Hawaiian women. But I also love her paintings of the sea and sky. Her work really captures the essence of Hawaii. I found these images on the gallery's facebook page which shows some of her early graphic work, posters for the Italian department store, La Rinascente.
