Born and raised on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, Easter-Lily Smith is a multidisciplinary creative, educator, and entrepreneur with over 16 years of experience across modeling, pageantry, performance, and visual arts. A nationally recognized and multi-state pageant titleholder, she has spent more than 14 years in competitive pageantry, public speaking, and community representation, serving as an emcee, spokesperson, and advocate for nonprofits and creative initiatives. 

Her background spans professional modeling including 8 years in boudoir, runway, television appearances (including Hawai`i Five-0), and brand representation. She is also a professional makeup and hair artist with extensive experience in photography, lighting, and creative direction allowing her to approach every project with a full scope, production-level perspective. 

Beyond traditional modeling, Easter-Lily is an aerial and movement artist trained in aerial silks, chains, trapeze, lyra, pole, flow, burlesque, and hula (under the instruction of Kumu Hula Candace Marticio-Melendez, Halau Hula Ka Lei Mokihana I Ka Ua Noe); blending athleticism, storytelling, and cultural artistry into her work. Her creative practice is grounded in empowerment, self expression, and intentional representation. 

In addition to her artistic career, she is a full-time Early Childhood Educator, curriculum creator, and illustrator, as well as the founder of multiple creative and educational ventures. Through her work, she bridges artistry, education, and advocacy with her community platform- The GLOW Project, while mentoring youth, supporting at-risk and APPI communities, and creating spaces where creativity and confidence can thrive.
