Rooted in a deep connection to Hawaii and the natural world, my mission is to inspire appreciation for the ocean and environment through art. Growing up in Hawaii, sustainability and nature were integral to my life, shaping my values and igniting a passion for conservation.
As a photographer and artist based on Moku o Keawe, and born and raised on O'ahu, my work draws from my upbringing, experiences in environmental science, and lifelong relationship with the ocean. Each piece I create is infused with gratitude, inspired by the beauty, culture, and community of my home.
The ocean holds a profound place in my life. Following my father’s passion for the sea, his love has stayed with me even after his passing. Fishing, free diving, and spearfishing are not just traditions but expressions of a bond that continues to shape my art and my purpose.
Through my work, I hope to raise awareness about the importance of conservation and protecting our oceans, encouraging others to foster their own connection with the natural world.
