Iwalani Kaluhiokalani is a painter and interdisciplinary installation artist whose practice explores movement as both subject and generative system. Working across painting, paper cut forms, video, and immersive installation, she creates choreographic environments where bodies, images, and atmospheres exist in continuous transformation.

She received a BFA in Painting with Distinction and Departmental Honors from Massachusetts College of Art and Design (2003), where she studied in the Studio for Interrelated Media. Her training in Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analysis at the Laban Institute of Movement Studies in New York continues to inform her translation of gesture, spatial dynamics, and embodied perception into visual form.

Kaluhiokalani is represented by Kingston Gallery, Boston. Her work has been exhibited at Emerson Contemporary (Boston), The Mills Gallery at Boston Center for the Arts, and La Traverse / Catherine Bastide Projects (Marseille), among others. She has received support from the Vermont Studio Center, the ACTivate Residency at Boston Center for the Arts, and the Un-Monument Video Mapping Program. Her work is held in private and corporate collections internationally.

Movement pedagogy is integral to her practice. As a teacher of teachers in Classical Pilates and the GYROTONIC® method, she approaches the body as a site of knowledge. A place where breath, rhythm, and resistance inform both making and spatial composition.

Born in Massachusetts to Hawaiian-Scottish and Dutch-Indonesian parents, she lives and works between Boston, USA, and Marseille, France.
