About the Artist: Keiko Saile is a watercolor paint maker and mixed media artist based in Hōlualoa, Hawaiʻi. Growing up in a German-Japanese household in Southern Germany, she’s always been fascinated with traveling and experiencing other cultures, food and nature. After earning a BA in photography at the University of Arts in Zurich, Switzerland, she worked as a professional photographer for 12 years.
A happy life change brought her to Hawaiʻi in 2016, where she started her new small business, Aloha Watercolors, as a full-time paint maker and art instructor.
When she’s not taking a class at the Donkey Mill, you can find her in her home studio mulling watercolors, editing videos or hiking one of the beautiful nature trails on the island.
