Welcome to www.koarthawaii.com - Kevin Orndorff, Artist

“I am pleased to offer this site as a means for more people to view my work and understand the process of Reverse Painting on Glass. My work is an attempt to create an appreciation for, and perhaps provide a new perspective on, the world we are a part of. Please visit my online gallery offering direct access to available editions of fine art reproductions.”

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Kevin has been busy painting, surfing, and traveling. With trips to Panama, and the Reunion and Mauritius Islands, it will be interesting to see these experiences reflected in some of his new releases.

CONGRATULATIONS TO KEVIN!! Kevin Orndorff has been featured not once but TWICE in Hawaii's Surf Magazine, Freesurf Magazine - first, in their Surf and Artist profile "Surf Art: Kevin Orndorff, A Mysterious Ride" (Volume 3, #12), and second, in a selection titled "Surf Art" (Volume 4, #1)! A BIG MAHALO to Tiffany Below, Art Director, Freesurf Magazine!

Recently, Kevin has made a donation of one of his great pieces "Mid Day Surf Check" ~ 16" x 20" Matted & Framed ~ to benefit a cancer fundraiser held by the North Shore Spear Fishers Club. You can visit their web site at (www.myspace.com/northshorespearfishers) to learn more about them. Click on the following links to view Picture 1 and Picture 2 taken at the event.

Thanks to all of your support, Kevin has experienced one of his best years at this year's Haleiwa Arts Festival! Kevin sends a special Mahalo and looks forward to your continued support at all of his forthcoming events.

Additionally, look for Kevin's work throughout the North Shore especially at The Sand Castle Gift Shop, where Kevin did the store's signage, and Deep Ecology. A big Mahalo to the owners Kara Maresca (Sand Castle) and Pat Johnson (Deep Ecology) for their support. We encourage you to offer them your support when you visit the North Shore, or drop by their web sites.

EVENTS

Haleiwa Arts Festival is always a great way to spend the day in the country!
I've been on exhibit for many years at this great outdoor event! Come and visit me and support all of the Artists of Haleiwa.

Haleiwa Joe's Seafood Grill Annual "Charity Swing Golf Tournament"

Held every October at The Links at Kuilima Golf Course (The Arnold Palmer Course), the Haleiwa Joe's Seafood Grill Annual Charity Swing Golf Tournament raises funds to support the work of the Hawaii Chapter of the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA). We are proud to donate 3 unframed prints every year for the past 5 years and look forward to doing so every year to benefit this great cause.

“Mere words seem so inadequate to describe the wonderful experience owning an original Kevin Orndorff!! When you are visiting Haleiwa, be sure to ask Kevin for a showing of his art!! Can't wait to visit here again! Counting the days until we return!

Mahalo!!
