Fu’una (Kameko Branchaud) is a representational artist working in paint, pastel, and murals. Her work centers human and animal subjects and often draws from her experience as an American woman of indigenous Chamuru heritage. Her work attempts to process the polarity of indigenous and diasporic identity, and the interrelated influences of history, power, and heritage on the environment and the psyche. Her pop-realism style draws upon Fauvism, street art, and tattoo culture. Her recognizable palette is indulgent in its vividness and satisfyingly sensory. She has lived in five regions of America and uses photography, drawing, and research to connect with her surroundings.
