Local Artist Paints Father Damien

“I see myself always as a student. I learn through every painting,” he said. Having only taken one painting course in college, Geng is primarily self-taught.

Geng’s work is on display at the Molokai Artist and Crafters Guild. Originals, giclees and prints are for sale. He also does commission work from time to time, but prefers the freedom painting what he feels like.

“You want to do something you have passion for,” he said. “If it’s your passion, you just have to do it. Every day I try to sneak some time in to paint.”
