Ualani Davis is a Native Hawaiian artist and art educator from Honolulu, Hawaiʻi who often works with photography and mixed-media to investigate facets of identity, ancestry, and culture.   As an indigenous artist, she is especially fascinated by photography’s historical influence on the creation and spread of indigenous identity amongst the rest of the world.  Ualani uses her artistic practice as a way to visually explore and express her experience as a Native Hawaiian, contemporary artist, teacher, daughter, and woman.

Ualani received a BFA from the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa and a MA in Art Education from Boston University.  She currently teaches high school photography at Kamehameha Schools Kapālama in the Visual Arts Department.
