Sunshine Arts

So happy we happened upon Sunshine Art Studio during our stay on Oahu! Local Art is awesome! We had 2 pieces of Art shipped home. And another shipped to a friend. We had to have a frame changed on one and another picture framed. Beautiful job! We recieved them yesterday via Fed Ex. All were packaged perfectly! Customer service was in the true Hawaiian style of friendly and gracious! Thank you so much Latetia!

So glad we discovered this art gallery. So many art galleries on Oahu were awesome but this was the best and most welcoming with a true devotion to local artists. Jim and Latetia were amazing. We bought an Ed Furuike painting and a Jeff Andrade painting here and just received them by FedEx a few days ago. It packaged perfectly.
Also, I bought my wife some dragonfly earrings for a 3-​month anniversary present which she totally loved. Thank you for helping us bring some Aloha home to help us remember our honeymoon!

Wonderful gem of a local art gallery and gift shop. I’ve driven by here for years and never stopped, but now wishing I had. Run by lovely people and 100% local art sold. I hear they do a great job of framing too. Definitely check it out!

First class in every way! Amazing selection and very good prices, don’t pass this place by!

This is an amazing place! There is such a wide variety of local art by local artists displayed in this spacious gallery filled with aloha. We needed some art reproduced, matted and framed. Laeticia was so helpful and the proces was so smooth, pleasant and quick! She referred us out for the art reproduction and when the time came to assemble, she did a beautiful job and even gave us some supplies to help with the rest of our art. All this at a price that was so affordable! We will be back!

Just outside Kaneohe heading North on 83 this gallery hosts over 75 artists with an often changing selection of works. A very nice place to stop for a larger variety of local artist’s choices. Easy parking on the side of building.

Gallery with inspiring unique pieces. Just bought a piece from Daniel Moe, glass artist. Looking forward to stopping by the gallery on my next visit to Oahu.

I just love this cute little local Gallery! Located in Kahaluu, you can’t miss the bright yellow building on the right side with the water mural on the wall.
They cater to local artists like Tim Ngyuen, Holly Kitara, Peggy Chun and more. They carry from Original paintings to prints to Koa bowls to stationery to jewelry.
I get all my artwork here, and their prices are reasonable. Leticia the manager is very friendly too. They frame as well.
If you are passing through this part of town, you must stop by, you may find a hidden treasure to bring home!

It’d be really easy to pass this place right by or, upon entry, dismiss it as a whole lot of beautiful images of Hawaii. It’s true, there are lots of images of Hawaii (photos, watercolors, oils, acrylics) but spend some time wandering the 3,500 square foot space with art from 60+ island artists and you’ll find some gems, not just amongst the traditional imagery. Even among the less traditional imagery pieces stand out because they’re unique and well-​executed artwork, and not just because they’re different than the majority of pieces.
I really enjoyed the:
* turned wood bowls made from a wide variety of trees. Each bowl identified the type of tree from which it was created and the differences were fascinating. My personal favorite were the ones made from Norfolk Island Pine.
* Film photographs (not digital) of old Hawaii. There’s a great assortment of black and white images for sale, enabling you to enjoy what Hawaii looked like before it became what we see today. Buildings, roads, animals, people, sports: everything old-​Hawaii is well represented by these film images.
* Original oils and reproductions of work by artist Avi Kiriarty whose designs have graced many Kahala brand Aloha shirts. His original imagery is so much more than what’s printed on Kahala textiles. There are some seriously fine pieces of Avi’s work here.
I also enjoyed reading the self-​created bios of all the artists, and learning the paths which led them here. Not every artist has created a bio but look for them and you’ll be rewarded with some interesting tales. Through the business web site you can also view and purchase original artwork and reproductions in case you’ve not yet made plans to visit.

There is definitely more than meets the eyes. I’m sure you’ve passed it a million times before like I did. Always told myself «next time» but never did. This is mostly because when I drive along this stretch of Kamehameha Hwy, I am doing my «around the island» drive to my favorite shrimp truck, beach/​surf, corn, bakery, and shaved ice stops.
Like I said, I pass by Sunshine Arts each and every time. I always notice it but never stopped by.
Today, not making my usual «around the island» drive, I specifically drove here to personally deliver a check and say «thank you». Why did I make this trip all the way from town? Because of their service. Before today, I’ve only done business with Sunshine over the phone. They delivered our orders so I’ve never had to go there. However, with this last job, although small, Jim was very helpful and got me exactly what I needed in a very timely manner. I told him I «owed» him one and I promised to drop off a «cold pack».
With check and a «cold pack» in hand, I drove to Kahaluu to make my delivery. He was not there but the trip was well worth it. I finally got to see inside.
Yes, they are an art gallery that showcases 50+ local artists with so many different mediums. The newest one I just learned about was photography printed on Aluminum. But it does not end there. They have your «Hawaiian» decorative items and various jewelry and so many great gift items. They sell Koa frames at very reasonable prices (beats your town frame shops for sure) and do custom frames as well. The selections are extensive. If you have your own artwork you want to get matted, they do that too.
The gallery is a lot larger than it looks from the outside… I’m very impressed and feel that more «locals» should discover this gem in Kahaluu.
I’m recommending anyone who wants local art works or wanting to get something framed to go here. They will not regret it!

Sunshine Arts is a wonderful art store with reasonable prices. You can see it on your way to China Man’s Hat from Kaneohe. It’s the building with the giant China Man’s Hat painting on its side.
When I walked in, I was immediately helped. I had just shopped all over North Shore for a China Man’s Hat original panting for a gift but only got the run around. Not at Sunshine Arts!
They showed me all of their original artworks and I managed to find the perfect one. Plus, to my surprise, the frames are included in the price and she even gift wrapped it for me.
Thanks Sunshine Arts. I just know my fiancé will love her new painting.

FANTASTICO! Love this place. Love Leticia and the framing heros. Great selection of art in addition to the best prices on frames on Oahu.
GO. Enjoy. Buy! I do and love it :)

This is one-​stop-​shopping in heaven… A knowledgeable, creative staff assists you in beginning or adding to your art collection. The local artist representation is extensive and colorful. Koa framing, perfection… Mailing service to mainland makes it even easier for those of us who aren’t permanently living in Sunshine Arts vicinity. But when you get home and want more… a user friendly website for items you have decided you can’t live without after all, awaits.
Kamaka is right, about Laetitia. She knows her stuff (beautiful jewelry) and much, much more. She has every piece in the gallery memorized, you can describe what you want, are thinking about, or your colors and she will take you to some options that will have your creative mind spinning & resting at the same time. A true artist, perfectionist and a trustworthy art aficionado.

It would be easy to drive right by this hidden treasure on your way up the Windward Side. But that would be a shame. Tucked away just past the Hygenic Store in Kahaluu, is a bright yellow building with some excellent Art. A variety of Local artists are represented and when you get inside it is easy to forget you’re out in the «country» not down in Waikiki.
From Paintings to Jewelry the place is full of Art. And they do a great job Framing also. If you like visiting Art Galleries you are missing out if you do not stop by here and check it out.
