Coralynn is a self-taught artist of many mediums who loves being with her Ohana and spending quality time in nature. Her large body of work is recognizable with meticulous detail and vibrant color. As unique as her name, her life path has been one filled with great adventure and a wanderlust that has inspired a lot of her work. Born on the west coast and raised on the east she has lived in many states but found the salt, sand, and sea to be her happiest place to call home. Her aloha spirit and light-hearted nature can be spotted easily when she is in her natural habitat, on a tropical beach covered in paint and smiles.
Her first passion was fashion design and it is no coincidence her first memory was drawing. She earned a degree from Brooks College in Fashion Design in 2005 and honed her skills with freelance fashion illustration and design. Coralynn took a hiatus from needle and thread to pick up a paintbrush and began to teach herself how to paint in 2007. She learned as much about blending and brushstrokes as she did about patience and persistence. Coralynn had no expectations other than to start and finish a painting, and in trying something new found a deep love and respect for the process. That one painting was the catalyst to an extensive series of Portraits of Men and Women in acrylic on canvas, sand art, custom painted surfboards, hand painted instruments, body painting, and a wide variety of sentimental commissioned portraits.
In 2016, she returned to Maui to chase her lifelong dreams and found love as well...2 hours fresh off the plane! Life has been anything but dull. Each additional chapter of her life has reflected in her work as she has grown artistically and personally.

“Every artist was first an amateur.”-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Coralynn has developed that love of art into a career of custom paintings and collaborations. Enthusiastically taking on new mediums and opportunities to use her creativity. When she is not fostering the next generation of artists within her own family, she is manifesting a bright, tropical future with her toes back in the sand and paintbrush in hand. Between custom work, volunteering her creativity to support causes she is passionate about, and monetizing her skills to be with her Ohana, living the dream, Coralynn has found that art is a wonderful way to bring people together. In the past, she taught painting classes and would tell the budding artist "There are no mistakes in art, only adventures. Explore, make mistakes, and have fun!" Coralynn is very thankful to share her passion and aloha spirit with you, mahalo!
