This next female artist predates my Tiki journey. Ann Elizabeth Schlegel is a local Lehigh Valley treasure I’ve admired for 20 years now. Her work runs the gamut from fine art to quirky paintings of everyday objects. I commissioned her to paint my children’s Puffles when the kids were young and Club Penguin was still a thing. This masterpiece, Mr. Martini, is a print from Ann’s Adult Beverage series and hangs proudly behind the bar in my Tiki Lounge. Before I was into Tiki drinks, I really enjoyed gin martinis, and still do on occasion. One should not live on rum alone. Okole maluna, mahalo AES!
