Royal Hawaiian

"Inspired by the timeless beauty of the Pink Lady herself: The Royal Hawaiian Hotel, an unchanging figure in the heart of a rapidly changing Waikiki. My hope, with this piece and more upcoming work, is to capture some of the beautiful moments of this worldwide pause we're all doing for the greater good. These days the walking paths are empty and the surf out front is said to be a small and friendly crowd, as it was in bygone days."

Christie is a Hawaii-based artist with a passion for surf, travel and design. Forgoing the familiar postcard imagery of Hawaii, Christie captures the everyday beauty of island life with her signature brush work and bright palette. Christie’s work intersects surf culture and modern Hawaiiana, re-imagining the local landscape for a modern audience.

Christie’s first painting lessons came from her grandmother who taught her the discipline and joy of making marks on canvas. After graduating university, she spent years traveling the world in search of surf, snow and inspiration. During her travels, she documented her life through art, always striving to better observe the world around her. When she reached Hawaii, the most colorful and vibrant place she had ever seen, she knew she found her home. Ten years later, Christie can be found at her studio in the woods on the North Shore of Oahu happily making marks on canvas.
