Kristie Fujiyama Kosmides + Abstract Collab
featuring Jake Shimabukuro & Tracey Niimi

Exclusively for Hualalai Resort

You may have noticed the beautiful new painted triptych hanging in ʻUlu or have heard the name Kristie Fujiyama Kosmides since I've been working with her for 11 years. 

I am delighted to present Kristie’s latest project—Abstract Collab—with ukulele virtuoso and composer, Jake Shimabukuro and videographer, Tracey Niimi, in a multi-media art show for you. 

The show will run through May 16th and features works from the trio, as well as Kristie’s latest abstract works, and even a couple of Jake Shimabukuro original paintings inspired by his time with Kristie. 

For those who don’t know him, Jake Shimabukuro is world-renowned for what he can do with the four strings of an ukulele. He’s often on globe-trotting solo tours and has played with some of the greats—most recently a new album with Mick Fleetwood—but also Jimmy Buffet, Bette Midler, Kenny Loggins, Ziggy Marley, Yo-Yo Ma, and many others. 

These pieces haven’t been made available for sale before or shown as a body of work. The Abstract Collab pieces include the original artwork along with a creation video with music. There’s even a piece Kristie painted live during Jake’s concert in Hilo last month, that includes the recording from the concert.

Supporting our local community, 10% of the sales from the show benefit the Hualalai Ohana Foundation.
