Art night out

Kaimalino Designs will feature the creations of textile artist Vicky Durand during the First Friday Gallery Walk this month. Inspired by Hawaiian petroglyphs, flora and other organic elements, Durand's designs are silk-screened and hand-painted on natural fabrics. Her current line includes individually printed sarongs and scarves, caftans, skirts, cropped pants and tote bags.

A former international surfing champion, Durand began designing children's wear, then turned to resort wear. She experimented with material such as rice sacks and cotton, before adding silks to her line. Durand's designs can be found at her Makaha Beach boutique and other locations throughout Hawaii.

Durand will talk about her designs from 5 to 9 p.m. Kaimalino Designs is at 3 N. Pauahi St. Call 235-1922 or visit HawaiianWearableArt.com.
