About the Creator

Aloha,

My name is Alexis.
I am hapa Hawaiian, born and raised in Kailua on Oahu -after graduating Kailua HS in 2013 I moved to Las Vegas and lived there for about 7 years. I’ve found my way back home and now live in Nani Waimea on Hawai'i Island with my fiancé and our 4 children (we each have one from a previous relationship and 2 together) 🥰

Art has always been a hobby of mine and I always look forward to getting "lost" in creation. I have dabbled in drawing, painting and mosaics. I thoroughly enjoy the whole process it takes to create these earrings, and I hope that shows through my work. 

My vision behind my creations, is to capture the beautiful flowers of and in Hawaiʻi. I love to work with native Hawaiian plants, in hopes that they spark conversations to educate and share about our rich, beautiful culture.

One pair of earrings collectively takes at least 2 hours to create. I say collectively because there is a long process - it takes about a week to dry the flowers - at this point the flowers are very fragile, so I carefully and meticulously paint many coats of resin. My pieces are limited and based off of the flower I have on hand. 

Mahalo nui loa - thank you so very much for being here. 
I appreciate you,

Alexis 🫶🏽
