MAHALO TO OUR SPONSORS

ABOUT THE POSTER ARTIST

Kate Wadsworth was raised in Kailua, Hawai‘i, where she currently lives as an illustrator, graphic designer, and muralist. She spent several years living on the East Coast where she received her BFA in Communication Arts from VCU in Richmond, Virginia – a multicultural city that strengthened her interest in figurative art and urban sketching. Equally inspired by the natural world, she loves to experiment with bold colors, exaggerated shapes, and purposeful line work to tell stories with subtle but deliberate symbolism. Kate has had the privilege to work with a variety of local and international clients including, Vans, Sony, Hawaii Business Magazine, Los Angeles Times, Kokila, and NBC News.
