Lava Rock walls create a high terrace overlooking the sea, where two arching domes lie surrounded by pools, fishponds and gardens. Light filters through the stained glass walls and the translucent roof panels. This unique structure was hand-built by celebrated architect Kendrick Banggs Kellogg, an originator of the school known as Organic Architecture. The interior is enlivened by colorful stained glass and mosaic table by renowned artist James Hubbell. This is the Hawaii home of artist Beth McCormick.")} function TXTindex2(){ document.write("

The Onion House as an artwork has inspired other artworks, including an original series of featherwork by owner Beth McCormick, begun during the dozen years she lived in and renovated the home.") document.write("
Elaborate designs of luscious color, executed in the shimmering palette of bird feathers are the hallmark of Beth McCormick's work. Through her magnificent shields, sculpted porcelain masks, and feathered fans, she evokes an artistic tradition that stretches back to the ancient feathered cloaks and headdresses of old Hawai'i. While her work honors that tradition, it moves in new directions, introducing and uniting elements, materials, and symbols from throughout the world. Her work is found in corporate and private collections throughout the state, the U.S., and abroad.") document.write("
Beth McCormick has been a feather artist since 1976. She splits her time between Telluride, Colorado, the Onion House, and an organic farm on the windward side of the Big Island of Hawaii.") } /**/function TB_contact(){document.write("")} function TXTcontact(){ document.write("") document.write("
