Скачать или смотреть My Monumental Summer – Meet the Artists: Kris Goto | Curiosity and Connection

Honolulu-based pen-and-ink artist Kris Goto shares the story behind her large-scale mural, created live at Leeward Community College’s Hō‘ikeākea Gallery for the exhibition My Monumental Summer: Live, Love, Paint.

Through reflections on growing up in Japan, New Zealand, and Hawai‘i, Kris reveals how each culture shaped her creative identity—from manga and Māori tattoo art to the vibrant color and community of Hawai‘i. In this conversation, she discusses her improvisational approach, the personal emotions behind her “monumental summer,” and the importance of curiosity and staying true to one’s artistic voice.
