Sunshine Arts Hawaii

Laetitia is just phenomenal. We have been colon here since 2019 and each time discover artists with love due to her care along with vetting of who is in the space. Laetitia is also beyond kind and so knowledgeable. The last time we were in we had a question about specific labelings of pieces & she educated us in detail versus just brushing off.I feel like the variety of artists & types of art are always such a great way to find exactly the piece that can either say this is super Aloha Hawaii or this is very authentically unique vision of Hawaii. Worth every penny we ever spend here.

I've been coming here for years to get custom items framed and have never been disappointed with the work that has been done. The staff is great and very helpful. This location is in Kahaluu after the Hygienic Store where Kam Hwy & Old Kam Hwy merges at the Seven-11. It is a cute 2 story building with parking to the side.They have a great variety of art pieces throughout the gallery. You can easily get lost in the beauty of the art work.Kyle always does a tremendous job and the staff are so so kind. If you have any framing needs or are looking for some art pieces, I would definitely stop by and take a look.

The price of the artwork varies. The artists are varied in skill. All the artwork caters to the Hawaiian genera. It is a bit cloying, but there are some that are not so down your throat aloha vibe. The service is so-so. They are attentive, but I feel like they are a bit slow. While buying an item, one of the workers slowed the process down by speaking with the woman who was ringing us up about something not related. Overall, if you want local artists and what to support a small business, it is fine. They have varied media and artists as well as prices. I want to say one of a kind cards are 15 each ( the cheapest thing I saw), and many paintings run up to about 1,500. Be careful of the prints. Many are not limited. If they are, they will be marked like they should be.

The best place I have found for framing! They may not have metal frames but that's okay with me. Leatisia works magic and has an eye for space, design and size. I have recommended several people and they have not been disappointed!

I came in a couple of months ago with a print that had a broken frame. The staff were super helpful in finding a replacement and accommodating a rush turnaround. It was a bit pricey, but the right price for the craftsmanship, service, and turnaround.

An excellent oasis of art located north of Kaneohe. This museum gallery hosts a wide variety of genres and methods, all of which are inspiring based on your personal taste. All the featured artists are local and I've found coming here is a nice way to de-stress. The manager Ms Atlantis, does an impeccable job at rotating the pieces so there is always something new to discover. I've found not only inspiration but also ways to fix my own painting errors, especially with regard to composition, light/shadow, and visual movement. Highly recommended for anyone who seeks a quick break from the day to day rush and a place to visually unwind. Mahalo nui loa for reading my review.

What a great establishment. Amazing prices and greater customer service. I came in looking to get an estimate on framing two burlap sacks, not only was the pricing way lower than other competitors it was framed within 24 hours. I told Jim, the owner, that this was going to be my husbands valentine gift, when they were ready for pick up he left a discreet voicemail that my two friends were ready. He also played with the back off the burlap's and framed them incase I liked it. Which I loved! I'll definitely be back to frame a few more pieces. Thank you so much!

My wife and I stopped by this place to see what they offered. We enjoyed seeing the art from local artist available for purchase. Lots of art to choose from across a range of pricing. I saw a print that caught my eye. We bought the print and then discovered that they do framing. We had the frame it and we pleasantly surprised with how reasonable the price was for their service. We definitely plan to visit them again!

Customer service unlike any other. A vast selection of artist works embedded in island representation. From large scale original paintings to small giclée and tiles. A gallery at the foothills of paradise - worth the peruse.

I am a local, Native Hawaiian artist, and recently made the trip to this gallery to get some matting and framing for my own work. I called in advance, spoke to the owner, and explained what I needed. In the past, they had a couple of guys that just cut bulk mats for artists, and although they no longer are there, the owner said he could handle my order of around 30 mats. I asked if I could come in the next day, and he said sure, he's there from 10am. I showed up a little before 11 with pieces in tow (he didn't want measurements, he wanted to see physical pieces). I was excited, and brought a number of additional oils and prints, thinking maybe I could have them help with some custom framing as well. It represented easily over $2000. I was planning on spending at least $500 on framing of one piece. When I arrived, the owner said he remembered our conversation. I told him I was inspired and brought a bunch more to see what he could do. He chastised me saying, you told me only 30, and you've come at a really bad time. He started pointing at people in the gallery saying "she needs framing, I have a meeting with her right now, and another client coming in right away ". I said , OK, I'll come another day. He said, "no no, I'll figure it out". So another woman "took care" of me. I started pulling out pieces, and was chastised again for cluttering up their table. From there it was just a continuous condescension. Talking to me like I was a total amateur, leaving me to take care of other customers, was insulting and time consuming, and not wanting the Hawaiian titles of the pieces was disappointing, insulting, but not surprising. Going against my gut, I decided to move forward with only 7 images that required duplicate mats, 4-5 identical mats in each size. I said, clearly you're too busy to handle the rest, and she agreed. I chose my mat color and asked if I should have a backup choice in case they ran out. She said, oh no, we have enough. I paid them the total amount, over $300.They called 2 days later to say they didn't have that color. A sign for sure! Ok, that happens, but they clearly didn't see me as a valued client from the minute I walked in. Sorry I brought more business than they wanted? Then politely tell me they can't handle the order. This wasn't my first visit to this gallery, and I had time to see the art on the walls while I was waiting for service. If any native hawaiian artists were represented, I didn't see them. Just more of the same, landscapes, hula dancers, surfing, and Native people depicted as caricatures, what they, their website and their clients call "Hawaiian art". This gallery just won an award for one of America's best galleries and is contributing to the continuing objectification of Hawaiian people and culture.I returned today, retrieved my pieces, and got a refund. My guess is they don't care that I'm taking my business elsewhere, and I look forward to finding a culturally aware and polite company to work with in the future. Malama pono.
