Aloha mai, I'm Leināʻala [ lane-UH - Allah ] and I'm a digital artist who offers art commissions, collabs, and prints


I'm born, raised, and based on Oʻahu, and although I have ancestry worldwide, I identify with my Hawaiian blood having been immersed in Hawaiian culture. I practice lei-making, planting native plants, and have been learning hawaiian featherwork recently. I advocate for proper Hawaiian representation, empowering our arts, values, and connection.With all that said, I'm a socially awkward nerd who sometimes gets big anxiety, but loves hard. I love my dogs, watching anime, listening to music, reading old Hawaiian stories, and playing games like palworld and ark survival ascended in my free time.I've contributed illustrations for Shadowed By Moonlight, a Polynesian fantasy novel by Kryssa Stevenson under my old alias "XaTiArt". I had also the honor of collaborating with other Native Hawaiian artists on both the 2025 and 2026 Hawaiian Language Calendars with TawshLav.If you have any inquiries or concerns, you are wlecome to contact me by email at [email protected] or by discord @leinaala.art at any time. I am usually quick to respond, but please bear in mind time zone differences (HST/UTC-10) and grace me with at least 48 hours to reply!
