Happiness. That is the first word that came to mind when I stepped into the gallery. My husband and I are honeymooning in Maui right now and one of our goals has been to get into art and investing more into beautiful local pieces and bring back pieces of memories from our trips as we build our life together.

Personal side note, the sweat wicking towel is awesome and the best thing to have at the beach, pool,...
Read moreMy wife and I took the Welzie Art Class with Chieko while staying at the Andaz, and it was an experience unlike anything we’ve done together. The class is conducted right in the gallery, surrounded by Welzie’s beautiful, joyful artwork, which brings such an inspiring atmosphere. We got to customize our own piece of art—something we’re genuinely proud of and excited to hang in our home. The experience is perfect for adults and children alike, with no artistic skills required, just a willingness to have fun and create. This class is truly unique and brings so much joy; we highly...
