Ikaika Artworks

Visual Art – Seattle

The first thing most people ask me is \"What does Ikaika mean?\" Ikaika (pronounced EE-KY-KA) is Hawaiian meaning \"Strong of body, Strong of mind\" and although I might not look too Hawaiian I was born on the Big Island and Ikaika is my middle name. I\'ve always been creative but after I graduated from college I found myself behind a desk as a project engineer for four years. I wasn\'t happy and knew something needed to change. I started creating my unique and very distinctive artwork and realized that art was my true passion in life. Through unique stencils, textures, and spray paint I express my creativity. The process of layering creates depth and allows the art to jump off the canvas. I am determined to pursue my passion throughout life and have realized that being happy in life is worth much more then a paycheck.
