Avalon Paradea is a neurodivergent, genderfluid artist raised in Waikōloa Village. They have had the joy of being a haumāna of kapa under the tutelage of Roen Hufford since 2017. Avalon's creativity incorporates carefully foraged soils, plant dyes, and other earth elements. With backgrounds in enviromental conservation, ethnobotany, and cultural heritage, Avalon's work is deeply inspired by their pilina with people, plants, and place.
