Kristine Provenza masterfully harnesses Hawaii’s natural beauty, vibrant people, and unique traditions to create multisensory works of art. Her paintings convey the primal force of a volcano, the vibrancy of the ocean, the fragrance of flowers, and the passion of Hawaii's beautiful people, bringing these elements to collectors around the world.Recognized for her talent from a young age, Provenza first gained local media attention at 15 for her portraiture. By 19, she was showcasing her artwork in juried competitions with The Federation of Canadian Artists. Throughout her twenties and thirties, she exhibited with the Association of Hawaiian Artists and the Hawaii Watercolor Society, earning numerous Best of Show and Best Watercolor awards.Residing on the beautiful Island of Oahu, Provenza has been sharing the essence and spirit of Hawaii with the world since the late 1980s. For eight years, she operated her own gallery in the Outrigger Reef Hotel in Waikiki. Her work has been a staple in Hawaiian art galleries for over three decades, making her a well-known figure throughout the islands.Provenza strives to capture the essence and emotions of her subjects through subtle details, such as the tilt of a head. Her Hula series, often depicting beautiful dancers, focuses on their feelings, their connection to their art, and their passion for their heritage.While the beauty of the islands has long inspired Kristine, it is the Hawaiian people, their traditions, and their vibrant culture that truly move her. “Aloha is a state of mind,” Provenza says, “It’s living your life with love, friendship, peace, and compassion.” She infuses every piece of her artwork with the very essence of Aloha, sharing this spirit with collectors around the globe.
