Visual Art – Honolulu

Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. I, Chanel Tanaka, found a true passion for art and drawing at a very young age. I first started out just doodling in notebooks and on random papers at age 10. Drawing slowly turned into painting with acrylics and painting with acrylics slowly turned into painting a geisha. I remember one day I started to paint the sunset and this geisha character,... she just came to me. I also have added in the aspect of dressing up in a geisha character named Mineko and body painting the bare bodies of women live at several events and venues. Art to me is sexy and simple. I enjoy what I do and that is why I do it! :)
