About the Artist:
Tioni Acain, an artist hailing from the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii. My passion lies in acrylic paintings that capture the wonders of this paradise we call home. Drawing inspiration from the landscapes and creatures around me, I am to showcase their beauty through my unique perspective. With each stroke of paint on canvas, I create as symphony of colors that evoke a sense of natural movement. Look closely at each piece and you'll discover a hidden heart, symbolizing my deep love for art.
I owe much gratitude to Janet Sata for nurturing my artistic talent during high school. Alongside talented artists like Kirk Kurokawa and Phil Sabado, I learned and contributed to a cultural mural showcased at The Ritz Carlton Maui.
In 2019, amidst a successful corporate career, I won the prestigious 31st Lahaina Art Society annual poster contest with my acrylic masterpiece 'West Maui Lahaina'. It became a limited edition 2020 poster cherished by art enthusiasts everywhere.
While excelling in developing future leaders in business, creating art remained my true calling.
In 2021, I started Art by Tioni as a full-time artist and became a member of the Lahaina Art Society selling art by the Lahaina Cannery Mall. Also, in 2024, I illustrated my first book titled, Magical Hawaiian Rainbow - Adventure Through Lahaina which became a Barnes and NOble Best Seller after its first week launched.
