Hi! I’m Kaila and I make art.

I’m 8 years old and I live in Hawaiʻi. I love to draw and paint the things I imagine, and I want to share them with you!

What I Make

Everything here starts as a doodle in my sketchbook. Sometimes it stays a drawing, and sometimes I paint it big! Some of it I made this year, and some of it is from when I was even littler.

My Art

Drawings and paintings I made with my own two hands — some new, some from when I was little. There’s only one of each, and every one has a story.

My Drawings

Sketches, doodles, and made-up friends from my sketchbook. This is where all my ideas start.

Made in Hawaiʻi

I live in Hawaiʻi and I make my art here — at home, when I’m not swimming, and sometimes on family trips. I draw what I see and what I imagine.

Hi, I’m Kaila!

I’m 8 and I live in Hawaiʻi. I love drawing, painting, and making up whole worlds in my head. I have a little brother and I love him! We like to draw together, go to the library together, and go swimming. Kai Kai’s Art House started with my drawings and one idea: to share the little pieces of imagination I make with other people. Every single piece starts with me!

My Art Shop Is Coming Soon!

One day you’ll be able to take a little piece of my art home. I’m not ready yet, but I’m working on it!
