Eva Makk and A.B. Makk Show
at Sargent's Fine Art
Lahaina, Maui
Jan 28 th - 31st, 2016

What was very special about this show, was that Eva and her son A.B. painted on one canvas,
making it the first in Makk history. Eva and her husband Americo Makk
painted multiple church ceilings in Brazil as well as many murals together.
Now A.B. and Eva blend their styles to create a
lovely landscape. The finished painting will be revealed in the future.

Eva Makk working on her section of the canvas. A.B. Makk's section can be seen in the top right.
What a masterpiece this will be!!

Eva Makk paints with brush, while her son A.B. Makk paints with a palette knife.

Visitors to Sargent's Fine Art stop to watch Eva paint!

A.B. uses a palette knife to create his magic on the canvas!

A Fun Evening
With New Makk Collectors!

A delicious dinner and then a private concert with Gale on her Ukulele
singing lovely Hawaiian songs! What a treat is was!

Gale's birthday gift to herself was Eva's giclee "Whispers". Her own title for this artwork is "The Swing".
Love the story that goes with it!

Gale and Arnie look on as Eva writes a special dedication on the back of the giclee!

Yay!!!!! Great to see happy collectors and friends!!!

The more one looks at Eva's painting, the more one sees. Gale just discovered something in a picnic basket!

Arnie and Gale love A.B.'s "Honolulu Reflections"!

National Society of Arts and Letters

October 7, 2013

Guest Speaker: Sylvia Makk

I was invited to give a talk about my family's art and accomplishments to the members and guests of the National Society of Arts and Letters. This is usually A.B.'s (hubby) job, but he was traveling which worked out as I actually enjoyed the professional show-and-tell! :)

Society President Carolyn Berry Wilson introducing me.

We had a delicious lunch and then came my talk.

And I was up!

Here I am showing some of the highlight's of the family's accomplishments which includes being in the Oval Office presenting President Reagan with his portrait painted by my father-in-law Americo Makk.

Talking about one of my giclees called "Shimmer." The original sold to a couple in California.

After the talk.

I think I am blushing. I felt like a celebrity! :)

New friend Suzan Forbes.
