Artist Statement
This is my tribute to the indescribable magical moments out on the water, especially the sunset "Dusk Patrol" sessions in Hawaiʻi. This is my attempt to translate my experience and journey of learning to walk on water and the awe I feel witnessing the grace and skill of the talented surfers in Hawaiʻi.
This series represents this humble surfer girl's dreams of nose-riding, barrels, and big wave riding, as well as my appreciation of those still moments in time between sets watching the light, colors, and reflection of the sky dancing on the water.
For me, art is a therapeutic and creative outlet. Embedded in my paintings are hidden remnants and tales of the joys and challenges I have experienced surfing the waves of life in the Aloha State.
This is the first time these paintings will be made available for public viewing and purchasing and have never been posted online.
About the Artist:
Andrea "Andee" Cesarek
A considerably better painter than surfer, but equally passionate about both, Andrea moved to Kauaʻi from Detroit in 2017 and quickly fell in love with surfing. Unimpressed with the lack of selection of art and decor featuring female surfers in action shots and barrels, she was inspired to paint art that celebrates the courage, dedication, and grace of surfers who continually seek to push their boundaries.
A real "Renaissance woman", Andrea also holds a Masters in Nutrition Science, is a licensed massage therapist, professional photographer, event planner, filmmaker, and certified yoga instructor. She is in the process of obtaining her Registered Dietitian License and setting up a Holistic Nutrition and Wellness Practice based in Kauaʻi.
