Mae Waite

Mae Waite was adopted at the age of three from Yunnan, China, and found her home in Hawai'i. The vibrancy and rich texture of the islands have become a constant source of inspiration for her work. Mae graduated from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa with a degree in Studio Arts. She has since won accolades from around the globe and created art for iconic names, including the Washington Post and Louis Vuitton. Each Aloha Everything illustration is lovingly hand-painted and conveys both a sense of childhood adventure and a deep reverence for the beauty of Hawaiian landscapes and culture.
