My name is Arlene Salomon, and I’m a Hawaii-based artist and Living Future Accredited interior designer. I hold a BFA in Fine Art from the School of Visual Arts in New York City and an MFA in Interior Architecture & Design from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. My specialties are applying advanced concepts of sustainability to design projects as well as historic preservation.
My journey on Maui began as an exhibiting artist, but it evolved as I immersed myself in the island’s natural systems while farming and living in ecologically restorative households. Working as a Certified Arborist, I refined my ability to manage the health and safety of trees and specialized in native Hawaiian plants. For over fifteen years, I designed sustainable landscapes, orchards, and ethnobotanical forests, and contributed to local conservation efforts.
As an interior designer, I create art-centric, biophilic spaces that prioritize people’s needs and sense of place. My work explores the connection between people, architecture, and nature, embracing regenerative sensibilites that enable beautiful, harmonious environments in both residential and public spaces.
