Mark & Malialani Dullanty create multidisciplinary artwork that explores the complexities of human relationships, alternative futures, and how we are all connected through the use of mixed media, installations, woodworking, printmaking, digital design, and more. Focused on cross-cultural collaboration and experiences, we are invested in concrete utopias and artwork that builds a better world.

Native Hawaiian artist Malialani Dullanty was born in diaspora and raised on the Syilx/Okanogan Reservation. This provided her the opportunity to grow up immersed within native culture, even disconnected from her own. She makes art that explores those kinds of complexities; liberation and justice, generational trauma, depression, being biracial and native, climate justice, and how we are all connected. Moving home to Hawai’i nei allowed her artwork to become more rooted culturally as she seeks to undermine harmful systems through the use of mixed media, installations, and printmaking.

Third generation carpenter Mark Dullanty began working with his cabinet maker grandfather before he can remember. Dyslexia, depression, and OCD forced him to develop a “figure it out” mentality, learning how to work around barriers and obstacles from a young age. This led to creative artistic solutions before he was even able to really name them as such. His artwork explores simplicity, functionality, and beauty while also centering accessibility, longevity, and justice. Mark often creates pieces in partnership with other artists, whether furniture, installations, frames, or other designs, he relishes the opportunity to collaborate in order to create a better world.
