About the Exhibition

The Retrospective series was designed to acknowledge the contributions of individuals who have made a profound influence on local art and to share their work and ideas with the community. Hui No‘eau is honored to celebrate the work of artist Eddie Flotte.

Eddie landed on Maui in 1985 with the tools of his trade, a bit of skill, and an intense desire to make the most of his talent. Within his first month, he met his muse, Sandy Cotton. Immediately they formed an unbreakable bond as friends and partners. Sandy’s immeasurable support, love, and faith in Eddie’s work made their extraordinary and prolific journey together possible. A nostalgic nod to Maui’s past, Eddie’s paintings are love letters that capture the last days of Maui plantation life before the wave of modern development. His work also depicts his travels and extended stays in Wyeth’s Chadds Ford, The Wetlands of the Jersey Shore, and the area around his hometown of Ambler, PA.
