Amiri Bennett
Visual Art – Las Vegas
My name is Amiri Kawika Bennett and my background is every bit as convoluted as my name. I\'m from a place called Waianae on the west of Oahu, Hawaii. I\'m a mix of Hawaiian, Filipino, Chinese, African American and Native American...so nothing normal will come from me. After a long stint of pursuing a career in engineering, I\'ve recently returned to my artistic roots, no longer willing (or able) to deny what it is I love most in the world.
