Candice Soon
Hi, I'm Candice! Originally born and raised in Singapore, I moved to Hawai'i after living in Okinawa for three years. As a self-taught artist, my style has been deeply influenced by the natural beauty and culture of each of these islands. Through my art, I hope to highlight the wonder of the places I've experienced. While I'm now a full-time teacher at a local public school, art remains my first love and I hope to be able to share it with others!
Mae Waite
I am an independent artist and illustrator based in Honolulu, Hawaii. I received my B.A. in Studio Arts from the University of Hawaii in Manoa. Many of my pieces are an embodiment of my surroundings and the emotions that I pull from the environment. Iâm driven by the artistic process of creating and emphasizing different techniques. I love to experiment on different surfaces and conjugate different meaning with the mediums I use. I work closely with oils, ink, graphite, watercolors, acrylics, gouache and illustrator applications.
Ashley Kaase
Ashley is a Hawaii based artist who finds inspiration all around her and often paints from life. Her mother was also an artist and she was raised in pottery studios across the world. Her artistry includes ceramics, printmaking, woodworking and most recently, painting with acrylics and watercolors.
Ashley is inspired by Hawaiiâs rich plant life as well as the skylines, sunsets and silhouettes that are unique to these beautiful islands. She does her best to preserve these moments in time forever and share a piece of paradise with her customers. Besides the landscapes, her children are her biggest inspiration. Their portraits were the first watercolor works she ever completed.
Odi
Growing up in Argentina and surfing in Uruguay, Odile âOdiâ Schlossberg developed an irreplaceable passion for the ocean. It wasnât long before she started traveling the world in search of surf and new sources of inspiration. She is currently based in Northern California and Hawaii, where she takes inspiration from beautiful coastlines, waves and unique oceanfront forms.
Her style developed from combining principles of graphic design and the fluid motions of acrylic painting. With a background in architecture and design, her artwork incorporates distinct design principles mixed with the organic quality of nature.
"Through art, I aim to express that feeling we get when we see a perfect wave, or when we admire the sunset while we're sitting on our board...Surf's Up!"
Elyse Bojorquez
Iâm Elyse, an all-around creative! I focus mostly as a painter, but also work as an illustrator and graphic designer. I find joy in using a variety of paint mediums like oil, acrylic and watercolor, coupled with digital imaging. My style, which ranges from modern impressionist to flat graphic, is rooted in my love for Hawaii and influenced by my favorite local artists, such as Peggy Hopper, Peggy Chun and Eugene Savage.
I named my brand Red Thread because of my godmother, who adopted a baby girl from China together with her husband. I distinctly remember a black and white photo of them holding a red ribbon, the only thing in color. It was a beautiful photo that reflected her belief that a red thread of fate connects us to the ones we love and the things that we are meant to do. Sadly, my godmother passed away. I wanted to honor her and the other strong women in my life, hence the name Red Thread.
