‘Art with Aloha’ exhibit at Community Center, artist reception Tuesday

Jackie Carlin’s art brings fresh air with tropical flora beauty to our wintery season. Carlin’s show, “Art with Aloha” will be in the Community Center’s Crowell Board Room through Feb. 22.

CCAI will host a reception for the artist on Tuesday from 5-6:30 p.m., with an artist introduction at 5:30 p.m. The community center is located at 851 E. William St.

Other classical mediums that are shown here are from Carlin’s lifelong desire to capture her visions on a two-dimensional surface. Carlin was born on the island of Maui.

The combined influences from Asia, continental United States, Europe, and the native-Hawaiian culture shaped her perspectives in traditions, ethnic foods, and a worldview of art.

Carlin spent two years at Oxford University in England for her master’s degree in English. Her book, Spirit of the Village: A Maui Memoir was published in 2005.

Carlin left Maui and moved to Carson City in 2015. PBS Reno’s ARTEFFECTS program featured a segment on Carlin and her art in 2022.
