Sylvia Collaço-Botza
artist/photographer

www.pphawaii.org

Sylvia's love for nature and people enable her to create images that capture the essence of her subjects. Specializing as a Custom Portraiture Artist she works closely with her clients to produce a piece of work that is personally timeless and uniuqe. Hula and Hawaiiana is one of her favorite subjects, so she moved from California's Coastline to the shores of Hawaii. The passion of her work is, "I want people to know, that beautiful creative portraiture is personal and different for everyone. You don't have to be a model to have an exquisite piece of art of yourself or of your loved ones. I want people to feel good about themselves...for each person knows, they contain a very special beauty of their own...and to capture that is breathtaking...to present it to someone...is joy."  Sylvia reisides in Honolulu, and photographs in Hawaii and California.

Deborah Wilson
Artist - medium: paint


Deborah Wilson is a Christian visual artist currently residing on Oahu.  She is originally from Springfield, Missouri, where she pioneered and led a Christian visual artist association called "Na'veh".  Their mission was to "be a light" in the art scene of the area and to support, encourage, and provide education and enrichment opportunities through workshops and classes.  Deborah believes that God is the source of creativity, and that her gifts and abilities belong to Him.  Most of Deborah's career was in illustration for religious publishers, such as Gospel Publishing House, The Sunday School Board, Concordia, and David C. Cook.  She also worked as an illustrator for various independent missions organizations, such as the Caribbean/Latin American Special Projects.  Deborah's philosophy has always been to use her gifts for good purpose, and to paint subjects that speak of peace, love, joy, and God's creation.  Deborah's work is being exhibited in various galleries in Missouri, Montana, and Hawaii.  Her current work is a series of paintings which feature the people and culture of Hawaii.

Lynn Wiley

Born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Lynn came to Hawaii in 1990. She graduated from Chaminade University in 2003 with a BFA in Interior Design, which lead to a renewed interest in the arts. She began painting outdoors, and was in awe of the beauty that surrounds us - a reflection of the creator. Her paintings began to apply the splendor of natures color and light.Lynn has realized there is always hope to fulfill the desires and dreams that God has for us as He illuminates our pathway.
