Sachelle Dae “Light in the depths” Oil on panel 15.5″ x 11.5″ Framed

From art camp as a young child at Hui Noʻeau to studying realism painting as a young adult in Philadelphia, PA, Sachelle Dae has had a love for art her whole life. Now living back in her home on the island of Maui, she creates artwork that combines her background in classical realism painting with fantastical and abstract elements. She is a recipient of the State Foundation on Culture and The Arts Acquisition Award and has recently had her work exhibited at the Hawai’i State Art Museum. She was also a part of Hawai’i’s statewide 2022 Schaefer Portrait Challenge. Aside from being a professional artist, Sachelle has extensive experience teaching art to children and young adults. While living in Philadelphia, she worked with a non-profit that brought art into inner city Philadelphia title 1 public schools.
