Christina Uebelein

Christina Uebelein was born in Maryland, raised in Europe, and moved to the Islands in 1967. She received a Masters in Architecture degree and a Certificate in Historic Preservation from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Her sculptures embody the aesthetics of assemblage, Surrealism, and Nouveau Realisme -- art forms in which natural and manufactured, traditionally non-artistic materials and objets trouvés are assembled into three-dimensional structures. Her constructions combine organic, geometric, fantastical, allegorical, and marvelous elements into a unified whole. Her sculptures have been in many juried exhibitions both locally and on the mainland.

Osvaldo Flores

Born and raised in the artistic and cosmopolitan city of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Osvaldo was exposed to many expressions of art at an early age. Armed with an engineering degree, he ventured to New York to seek his fortune. There, he prospered in his field, never losing his passion for photography and cinema which would eventually lead him to his new life. After producing the unique documentary film "La Historia En La Arena " (The Great 

Gaucho Circus), featuring internationally recognized stars, he was encouraged to continue his artistic education completing courses at "The Cine Club Argentino" where he studied photography, cinematography fundamentals, video editing, computer graphics, script writing, acting, direction, art history and communications. In 2008, while covering the Honolulu Cultural Festival for a documentary, he was captivated by the exquisite beauty that surrounded him. Now semi-retired, he moved from New York to Honolulu to continue his artistic expression through his unique photos and videos. He is a member of the Association of Hawaii Artists and has exhibited his photos in many juried shows and galleries. He received the 2009 Telly award.
