The Artist

Deanna Lanakila Patacsil

 

Her Hawaiian name, "Lanakila," meaning "victorious," has been her founding inspiration for all of her work. 

​

Art and craft-making have been a constant part of her life. She first learned a variety of arts and crafts disciplines from her grandmother as a child and created various works of art that she gifted to many of her friends and family in her youth. She studied Fine Arts at University of Hawai'i at Manoa, where she continued on to graduate at Harrington College of Design in Chicago, Illinois in 2009.

​

Deanna works very intuitively in every aspect of her creations, developing and designing each unique mandala and crafting each jewelry piece as a work of art.

 

Her commissioned projects are customized specifically for each client's unique desire.
