Aloha! I’m Chris—artist, builder. I live on the Big Island and have an open, creative space I’d love to share with travelers passing through. I work in construction by day, and in my free time I pour my energy into an art studio where I create sculptures, paintings, and mixed-media works inspired by Hawaii’s natural movement and transformation.

I’m a down-to-earth, respectful host who values authenticity and good conversation. If you’re into art—or just curious—I’m happy to share my studio and materials so guests can create alongside me, or just hang out and watch the process.

My home is a safe and peaceful space. I enjoy meeting people from different walks of life, and I believe in leaving each other with good memories and inspiration. Whether you’re looking for a quiet corner, some company, or a brush dipped in paint, you’re welcome here.

教，学，和分享

I love creative exchange. If you’re curious, I can teach a wide range of art and design skills—from the digital to the hands-on. I’ve worked in:
• 3D graphics & design – Photoshop, digital painting, 3D modeling, and animation
• Maker tools – 3D printing, lost-wax casting, metalwork, ceramics, sculpture
• Traditional arts – drawing, painting, mixed media, and relief sculpture

I’m always open to learning, too—whether it’s a new recipe, a bit of language, or a creative technique I haven’t tried.

What I love most is sharing the studio space—a place where ideas can take shape, whether you’re picking up a new skill, showing me something from your world, or just experimenting with materials.
