About our Artists.

Blaine Koh is an American painter. Paints out of Honolulu Hawaii. He started going to school for fine arts back in 1998, but didn't complete his degree do to financial difficulties, had to quit school and join the work force. Around ten years later do to an economic collapse he was laid off and had no work to do so he dusted off his paints and brushes and has been painting ever since.

Chanel Tanaka is an Hawaii-born artist who first encountered painting and drawing at a very young age. A hobby quickly turned into a passion, which transformed into a life-changing career. Her main focus is on acrylic paintings with expanding interests into mixed media, including metallic paints. The artwork features a contemporary Asian silohuette style. Inspired by traditional Japanese Geisha and Samurai, her paintings embody Japanese, lifestyle, culture and architecture.

Kalani Ware is originally from Oakland, Ca. Currently a studio art major, concentrating in graphic design at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Kalani started a business in 2012 called "GRIPPTIDE", designing hand crafted grip tape art for skateboards and longboards. Most of his work is influenced by polynesian designs and I have recently started designing portraits on decks, as well as canvases using grip tape as the medium.

About Chanel Tanaka



Hawaii born artist Chanel Tanaka first encountered painting and drawing at a very young age. A hobby quickly turned into a passion, which transformed into a life changing career. Her main focus is on acrylic paintings with expanding interests into mixed media, including metallic paints. The artwork features a contemporary Asian silohuette style. Inspired by traditional Japanese Geisha and Samurai, her paintings embody Japanese, lifestyle, culture and architecture.

Silhouette - A silhouette is the image of a person, an object or scene consisting of the outline and a featureless interior, with the silhouetted object usually being black. Traditionally, a silhouette is a form of artwork, the term originating in the 18th century and applied to portraits or other pictorial representations cut from thin black card.[1] Silhouette images may be created in any artistic media, but the tradition of cutting portraits from black card has continued into the 21st century.

From its original graphic meaning, the term "silhouette" has been extended to describe the sight or representation of a person, object or scene that is backlit, and appears dark against a lighter background. Anything that appears this way, for example, a figure standing backlit in a doorway, may be described as "in silhouette".

Chanel currently co-created the Geisha: Women of Art Show that incorporates art, fashion, dance, and body-painting to create an interactive sensual feast.
