Haunani Hess is a multi-ethnic native Hawaiian born and based in Honolulu, Hawaii. Self-taught, with a broad discipline, she considers herself a visual artist seeking to discover and express beauty in all things.

Working with simplicity is her preferred challenge. The art of compelling the visceral for conceptual nuance is a process more important to her than technique. She finds herself more interested in what's not expressed. Her simple, elegant works have a fresh perspective.
