Maker Spotlight: Kelsie Dayna

Aloha! My name is Kelsie Dayna! I’m a freelance artist and illustrator, born and raised on Oahu. Art has always been in my life, though it was something that I never imagined I would do seriously. Like many people, I lost my corporate office job during the pandemic and was forced to face the tough question: what am I going to do with my life? I started drawing and sharing my art online as a way to cope with the change in my life and everything snowballed (in the best way possible) after that. Since then it’s been a learn on the go process, teaching myself everything from new art skills and techniques to how to run my own business. I believe that art is such a powerful way to bring people together and Hawaii has always been at the center of my art. Growing up I didn’t realize how lucky I was to call Hawaii home and the older I get, the more I want to keep those unique parts of our culture alive through my art.
