Kano is a multi-media creative who primarily works with natural and repurposed materials. Her work experience in art spaces across Hawai‘i Pae ‘Āina form the groundwork for an aspiration to cultivate place-based methodologies that shape both thought and creation. Positioned at the multicultural intersection of her Japanese ancestry and Maui-grown perspective, her material and conceptual explorations blend 和風 wafū elements with values rooted in aloha ‘āina. Guided by the belief that art is the purest expression of the soul, she hopes to give form to foundational truths of the waking world while opening portals into the dreamy spirit realm.
