I’m Addison Kanoelani, an artist whose work is inspired from a deep connection to nature, a place where I find peace, strength, and the clarity to escape the stresses of daily life. My art is a meditative process, a way to ground myself and find balance, with nature serving as my greatest inspiration; my sanctuary, my escape, and, in many ways, my religion.

I believe each of us, in order to survive this world, repress and hide certain parts of ourselves that might seem too soft for the harshness of reality. My paintings are designed to connect us back to nature, and use that connection to heal those parts of ourselves.

Each piece I create reflects my emotional journey from anxiety to tranquility. Whether I’m working with preserved flowers, quartz crystals, freshwater pearls, or metallics, my art tells a story of transformation. I often imagine my viewers stumbling upon a hidden cave of glowing flowers, a place where light conquers darkness and peace replaces fear. I pour this feeling into my paintings, blending natural materials with texture and light to evoke a sense of calm and serenity.

My Artistic Vision

In my work, I combine the grounding power of the earth with the ethereal beauty of the cosmos. Many of my pieces are inspired by this intersection, capturing the expansive wonder of the universe alongside the quiet, reliable strength of nature. Whether it’s the soft, organic lines of an orchid or the glittering light of the stars, my goal is to guide viewers through an emotional and spiritual journey that mirrors my own.
