Ioanna Gotschall is a Pacific Island artist and conservationist whose work bridges ecology, ancestry, and storytelling through vibrant depictions of island life. Born in Kiribati and now based in Hawai‘i, she draws from her experiences in native ecosystem restoration to portray connections between land, ocean, and culture. Her painted works, often featuring native birds, insects, plants, and ocean life, capture both the fragility and resilience of the natural world. 

Her art honors the relationships between people and place, reflecting her belief that caring for the environment is an act of cultural continuity and love.
