Caren Loebel-Fried Wins Breadfruit Festival Fine Art Contest

Caren Loebel-Fried was named winner of the Ho’oulu ka ’Ulu - Revitalizing Breadfruit in Hawai’i Art Contest at the Donkey Mill Art Center in Holualoa on Thursday, August 11, 2011.

The winning piece, "The Gift of Ku," is a print the artist hand-pulled from a carved linoleum block, printed on Kozo, a Japanese rice paper, and hand-colored with inks. Caren is a second-generation carver and learned the art of block printing from her mother. Her art is inspired by the natural world of Hawai’i and the legends told long ago by the people who settled there. Caren has written and illustrated six award-winning books for children and adults on the legends of Hawai’i. The contest judges chose the piece due to its powerful rendering of the legend of Ku, who in a time of famine transformed himself into a breadfruit tree in order to feed his family and community. Contest judges felt that this message was in alignment with the Breadfruit Festival’s goal of promoting breadfruit as a culturally appropriate food source to enhance food security in Hawai’i.
