Arlene Salomon is a Hawai‘i-based artist, designer, and regenerative practitioner whose work explores impermanence, transformation, and collaboration with natural and man-made elements. Her current practice centers on painting and printmaking with natural pigments and light-sensitive materials that remain chemically active, creating works that shift in color, texture, and form over time. This approach continues a long history of experimentation across media, including fiber art, sculpture, alternative photography, printmaking, and encaustic.

Originally from New York, Arlene holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts and an MFA in Interior Architecture and Design. Since relocating to Maui nearly four decades ago, she has worked at the intersection of art and ecology, as a landscape designer, consulting arborist, and conservation advocate, allowing the rhythms of the natural world to shape her aesthetic and values. Her multidisciplinary practice now extends into residential and commercial interior design, where she brings the same sensitivity to materials, place, and environmental stewardship.
