BIO
The Maui artist, Robena has been collecting glass for years, which she uses as subject matter for some of her paintings. In the past, she favored glass from Mexico, as it has imperfections that work beautifully in her compositions. Recently, she has been attracted to antique glass bottles from Maui, with their raised lettering and storied history. She acquired three bottles from an antique shop in Paia, set them up with interesting colors and shapes behind them, and began photographing.
