I’m honored and grateful that my artwork was selected as the official T-shirt design for the 2027 Kaiwi Coast Run & Walk! This original 8 × 10-inch piece was created with colored pencil on paper.
The design was inspired by the beautiful Kaiwi coastline. While creating this piece, I thought about the deep blue ocean, the winding coastal road, the mountains, and the many natural patterns found along this special shoreline. I wanted to capture the feeling of traveling beside the ocean while giving the scenery a breath of my own artistic style through geometric shapes, layered patterns, and color.
I am truly thankful to the Kaiwi Coast Run & Walk and Honolulu Printmakers for this opportunity and to everyone who has continued to encourage my journey as an artist. I cannot wait to see runners and walkers wearing my artwork along the very coastline that inspired it in 2027!
