Earth Family is a creative non-profit based on the Big Island of Hawaii. With art and beauty, we tell stories of our intrinsic nature that speak for the voice-less and touch upon social taboos.
In 2020 during a time of both collective isolation & contemplation, Earth Family emerged as a lighthouse of beauty for our foggy world. Through art & activism we communicate our deep relationship to earth, ourselves and one another. Earth Family is under the direction and care of Marisa Papen and Michael Chichi — as both creative allies and husband & wife.
