Anita Marci said, “I am so happy and excited to be entering our third year of Maui Paint Parties. I have created some new fun Maui art to paint from, including a beautiful ‘Wahine Sunset,’ a delicate ‘White Maui Orchid’ and the delightful ‘Pineapple Time.’ We have some great reviews on Trip Advisor. Check us out there!”
