the "Artist" the newest member of our team!!!








Karrie Morales was born January 6, 1986, in San Luis Obispo, California. Karrie didn't become an artist, she was born an artist. Since the moment Karrie could hold a pencil she was drawing pictures,  from the start she had dreams and ambition of becoming a well known artist, all around the world. She studied the arts every year in school, growing up and took many classes but those classes limited her creativity. She had a vision of every project they gave her but unfortunately her teachers did not agree, unable to see outside of their box.  However, Karrie refused to give up on her dreams, so she kept pursuing art throughout her school years and kept on with her passion.
In her ART pieces, Karrie uses every ounce of emotion she feels from her traumatic and elusive experiences to fuel her motivation and throws it into her pieces. Here today, Karrie rapidly over these past few years has grown much recognition not only locally for her art but all around the world from Canada to Europe to Alaska and the rest of the United States. She has become known for her love of the ocean life and her pieces really show it! Other than her love for painting the ocean life, (though not all limited to the sea) she has her true love, her daughter whom she has raised on her own.  
In her spare time Karrie loves to hike and explore nature as well as watching documentaries on sea life. Karrie's dreams are to become a well known artist and travel the world with her daughter selling her pieces and to hopefully gain inspiration from different places and cultures to draw even more imaginative work. Whether they travel by boat (seeing as how they both love the ocean) and sailing from port to port or by flying, fate shall decide...
You can find Karrie's work on instagram: @konnichiwakam or contact us at www.keikakoa.com
 Karrie is working with KeiKaiKoa with her underwater designs and will be available in the studio in the Summer!!!

Am I too sensitive? Aren't You?

Am I too sensitive? Yes, I do take things personally for example when a person calls you fat to your face or when they laugh, and gossip behind your back and you find out about it, are you telling me you are not offended? Hurt perhaps? That is complete baloney! You hear that you have too much time on your hands and that you always need attention? I have never met anyone that didn't want or need to be noticed, but I hang out with entrepreneurs and artists, so we need to be seen, or the business doesn't work. Also most people I meet come from dysfunctional families, oh and every one of us came from one, whether we like to admit to it or not. I try to incorporate kindness, mindfulness also integrity in everything I do. I am not the type of person who cheats and steals when I know the person needs my help, I am usually the first person to encourage and get people together. I hate drama, but I love it too! As Filipinos, we love our teleserya, and telenovelas (TV Dramas) What is

What is a prank phone call?

Photo was taken by  +Krista Corcoran This photo was given to us by our good friend for Christmas a few years back. But do you see that they are children and innocent in the ways of the world?  They are sweet loving children even our dog is terrific, and I am not just saying that because they are mine. They don't belong to me but they belong to themselves, I always say they belong to me, but really they are not things to be owned. They are my heart and my everything. A few years after this photo is now my daughter attending a different school in the new institution we call junior high. My husband and I are away for our trip to celebrate our 19 years of being together as a couple. We arrive from our trip in the middle of the night, and the children happen to be staying with our family. I sneak in beside my daughter and fall asleep beside her, and within a few minutes of snuggling close to her, I notice she is shivering. Sounds came out of her that I had never heard before, not e
