Aloha Vibes Olukai Art show

Before founding Inspire To Create Media, artist Trysen Kaneshige participated in the Aloha Vibes OluKai Art Show in San Diego, California  a collaborative event organized by Alyssa Mopia of Coffee & Convos that brought together artists, photographers, and creatives from Hawaiʻi and the mainland.

This show represented one of Trysen’s first creative showcases, bridging his island-born style with the San Diego art community. It marked the beginning of his mission to blend island roots, storytelling, and street-style design into contemporary creative spaces beyond Hawaiʻi.

Concept & Collaboration

Trysen collaborated with photographer friends to create mixed-media visual stories combining hand-lettered quotes and photography.
The artwork reflected connection between artist and audience, land and sea, culture and identity capturing the heart of modern Hawaiʻi through design and community.

Impact

• Served as Trysen’s first mainland art collaboration, expanding his creative network outside Kauaʻi.
• Deepened relationships with creatives such as Alyssa Mopia (Coffee & Convos) and the OluKai brand community.
• Laid the foundation for Inspire To Create Media’s evolution into a healing-centered, island-rooted creative studio with international reach.

The OluKai Art Show remains a defining early chapter in Trysen’s journey, a moment where purpose, art, and connection began merging into the creative identity that later became Inspire To Create Media.
