Eduardo “Eddie” Joaquin was born in Manila, raised in Hawaii, graduated from Kaiser High School, and continued his education at Kapiolani Community College (KCC). Joaquin was planning to get a degree in graphic design but discovered while taking a required oil-painting class that that was what he really wanted to study. One of Joaquin’s professors helped him pursue his new interest in oil painting; Joaquin received a John Young Scholarship in the Arts for the 2019-2020 academic year and began working at Koa Gallery, an exhibition space on the KCC campus, earlier this year.
