About Esther:

Esther Hi’ilani Candari was born to a mixed Asian American family and raised on the beautiful eastern shore of Oahu, Hawai'i. As an artist, her work reflects her rich multicultural upbringing and often draws upon Polynesian symbols and cultural ideologies.

While most traditional artwork depicts Christ or other figures from the bible as European in appearance, Esther takes a new approach. Esther wants all individuals of Polynesian or other multicultural decent to feel represented in her artwork.

"I've seen that someone's faith can increase if they see their cultural heritage depicted along side traditional stories of faith from the scriptures. It's especially true for women."

Havenlight is proud to now offer the beautiful artwork of Esther Hi’ilani Candari to our customers. See her available products below!
