March 20 - May 15

Opening Reception: Friday, March 20 / 5-7pm

Maui artist Jane Mount and O‘ahu-based Michelle Schwengel-Regala will present two concurrent solo exhibits in the Hui's adjoining gallery spaces as part of the 2026 Solo Artist Exhibition. Hui No‘eau’s Solo Artist Exhibition series provides two artists with the unique opportunity to be involved in all facets of exhibition planning and installation. It challenges artists to envision and produce an innovative and cohesive body of work to be shown in a professional gallery setting. Through an open call to artists across the state, Mount & Schwengel-Regala were selected as the two artists to present their solo shows in this upcoming exhibition.

Jane Mount will present Particles. We are all part of the universe and connected within it, and yet we only experience what our current tools allow us to, and we understand very little. I’m fascinated by all our attempts to explain the world–both the science we work out and the myths we create–in order to keep going in it.

O‘ahu-based scientist/artist Michelle Schwengel-Regala will present In/Finite Loop — a mixed-media exhibition drawing upon multiple aspects of her training and interests.  During college in Wisconsin, she learned about ‘alalā (Hawaiian crow) as an extinct-in-the-wild species, and vowed to work toward their recovery efforts. This and other species are depicted as fiber sculptures and metalpoint drawings, encouraging us to support conservation efforts to stabilize these populations and their habitats.
