Edwin Ushiro, a Hawaii artist based in Southern California, captures the essence of Hawaii and youth through unique mixed media techniques. His work combines traditional drawings with ink and acrylic on Lucite, reflecting nostalgic and magical childhood experiences. Ushiro has exhibited globally and worked with prominent clients like Disney and Fox Animation. His art blends the narrative tradition of “talk story” native to the Hawaiian islands with Japanese folklore, creating luminous reflections of the past.
