Tassyanna – Artist & Nature Enthusiast
Born and raised in Kailua, Oʻahu, Tassyanna has always felt a deep connection to nature and a lifelong passion for art. Her artistic journey began in high school, where she transitioned from sketching with pencil and paper to exploring the expressive world of paint and canvas.
One of her earliest artistic milestones came during a ceramics class when her teacher invited her to contribute to a gallery fundraiser supporting beach cleanups in Kailua. At just 16 years old, Tassyanna sold her very first painting—an experience that ignited her dream of pursuing art as a lifelong path
Her talent continued to blossom during her senior year when she created a heartfelt portrait of her grandmother, or known by everyone as ‘‘Popo’’. The piece earned second place in the Hawaiʻi State High School Art Competition and was proudly displayed in the Washington D.C. office of Senator Tulsi Gabbard for an entire year ! Today, Tassyanna brings her art to life with gratitude for her roots, inspiration from her surroundings, and a desire to share the beauty of Hawaiʻi through every piece she creates.
Driven by her creative curiosity, Tassyanna later expanded into pottery and handcrafted jewelry. Her love for the ocean—especially diving for shells—continues to inspire her jewelry designs and serve as a muse for her paintings.
