ARTIST STEVE MEI AT PUKA GALLERY


Steve Mei has been a wonderful supporter of the Aloha Falsetto and the Southern California Slack Key Festivals in Redondo Beach.

He has been invited to showcase his highly stylized and distinctive works exclusively at Puka Gallery in Hanapepe, Hawai’i. The gallery is located on Kaua’i’s west side and is considered the island’s center for the visual arts.

Mei is an internationally collected artist best known for his evocative signature series titled: "Tropical Deco”. This series of works incorporates Mei’s stunning use of nostalgic island subject matter with bold, bright colors to create works both contemporary and traditional. Mei’s abilities as a graphic artist are also evident in his exquisite pen and ink renderings of island life.

Working primarily in gouache, acrylic and watercolor on acid free museum quality papers and boards Mei creates uniquely bold and distinctively beautiful works depicting his beloved Kaua’i and islands of Hawai’i.

Mei divides his time between Los Angeles, California and Kaua’i, Hawai’i where he had lived for many years and is returning permanently to Kaua’i. Mei is deeply respectful of the people and culture of Kaua’i and the islands of Hawai’i which is evident in every work he creates. Mei invites you to experience his Hawai’i through his captivating works of art.
