about the ARTIST
Allegra Kanna Scribner was born and raised on Kaua’i and brought up in one of Hawai'i's large traditional extended families - the Kanna family. She, like her family, drew upon values from both Hawaiian culture and Japanese culture in being mindful of duty, personal responsibility, civic engagement and stewardship.
Drawing on her upbringing and values of mālama pono, Allegra integrates modern notions of environmental care with original craft. Her work invites reflection on ocean stewardship, preservation of place, and the hidden impact of plastic pollution.

Mālama kekahi i kekahi. Mālama ka ʻāina. Mālama i ke kai.
Care for each other. Care for the land. Care for the ocean.
Allegra studied Film and Media Arts at Biola University in Los Angeles and has been sculpting, creating, and designing throughout her life.
Her art incorporates storytelling and design, using raw, uncut, and uncolored marine debris to communicate through images, color, texture, and shape. She is dedicated to originality and holds herself to a high standard of ingenuity.
Operating from her Lāwai studio, Allegra offers her artwork through custom commissions and limited locally-owned galleries on Kauaʻi. She is currently partnered with the Outrigger Kauaʻi Beach Resort as their resident artist, where her work is integrated into the guest experience through hands-on art workshops, photo reproductions of her original work in guest rooms, and a large-scale original installation planned for 2026.
In 2025, Allegra received two awards from the Kauaʻi Society of Artists.
When she's not picking up ʻōpala and creating, Allegra enjoys surfing, training jiujitsu, fishing, and spending time with her loved ones.
