Lest We Forget:
Paintings of Maui from 1852 to the Lahaina Fire of 2023

“Jean Stern's talk will focus on how fine artists have documented places that are eventually lost to us over time and with population growth.  For the early years, artistic renderings are the only way we can experience the untouched beauty of Maui.  In more recent times, artists depicted scenes that were lost forever in the great fire of 2023.  This lecture will celebrate the importance of artists in documenting the fragile beauty of Maui.”
