Kailua Village Artists

Tesia was born and raised in Westchester County, New York, before moving to a suburb south of Boston in the early 1990’s, where she settled, raised her family, and worked as a Purser/Flight Attendant for a major international airline based out of Boston’s Logan Airport. Her career afforded her the time and opportunity to pursue her passion for creating stained glass artwork.

A self-taught artist, Tesia found inspiration in the great masters: the abstraction of Picasso, the emotive color of Rothko, and the luminous harmony of the Impressionists.

Surrounded by the island’s natural beauty and vibrant energy, life has been deeply invigorating since her move to Hawaii in 2020. Living on the tranquil South Shore, in a charming community, Discovery Harbour in Nāʻālehu, has been a profound source of inspiration and has greatly nurtured the continuation of her creative journey.
