May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.

About the Artist
Travis Kawika Kimura has always had a passion and talent for creative expression. Born and raised on the island of Oahu in the state of Hawai'i, his interest in art began like with most children - in elementary school. Even at a young age, his parents and school teachers noticed his interest in drawing, painting, and crafts.
He was further encouraged by his mother who, along with being a mom that worked a regular full-time job, also spent her weekends selling her creations at local craft fairs and bazaars; in order to support her family. Travis often tagged along to these fairs where he started to learn the business, and began making his own items to sell at the urging of his mother - stretchy cord bracelets ($0.50) and pony bead key chains ($2.00) were his first best sellers.
From these humble beginnings sprang over 20 years of experience that established the groundwork for the unique and beautiful products you see today from Creations by Kimura. In addition to the jewelry you currently see on our site, Travis also makes crocheted yarn leis, etched glass, painted wooden Christmas ornaments, tote bags, and many other unique personal projects.
All our products are handcrafted and designed by Travis. Feel secure in knowing that whatever product you may buy from Creations by Kimura has been MADE IN HAWAI'I.
