Akakūʻs March salon features renown sculptor and painter, Dale Zarrella. Dale started sculpting at 9 years old with a first commission at only eighteen! He is famous for his bronze sculpture of Saint Damien of Molokai. Heʻs a Fairmont Kea Lani artist in residence and recently partnered with Treecovery, providing free trees for people impacted by the 2023 Maui wildfires, through sculpture sales created from burned trees. His current work exhibits hope, resilience and strength of the people of Maui. He will be joined by Duane Sparkman of Hawaii Treecovery. Jay April will moderate, we hope you will attend to see his work and hear his story!
