About the Artist

Luana is an ‘ōiwi artist hailing from the ʻili ʻāina of Keaʻahala in beautiful Kāne‘ohe, O’ahu. Her art reflects her passion for native and beloved non-native flora, fauna, and landscapes of Hawai‘i, which she captures in enchanting detail and vivid color. Luana's art centers her intimate connections with the subjects of her paintings, evoking feelings of connection. Through her work, Luana aims to inspire a greater appreciation for the richness and diversity of mea ‘ōiwi in all forms, encouraging others to cultivate deeper, place-based pilina with those around them.
