Born and raised on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, Easter-Lily Smith is a multidisciplinary creative, educator, entrepreneur, and community advocate whose work spans more than 16 years across modeling, pageantry, performance, visual arts, beauty, photography, and education.
 

A nationally recognized and multi-state pageant titleholder, Easter-Lily has spent more than 15 years in competitive pageantry, public speaking, community representation, and mentorship. Her experience includes serving as an emcee, spokesperson, coach, and advocate for nonprofit organizations, cultural initiatives, youth programs, and creative communities.

Her professional modeling background includes runway, commercial and editorial work, more than eight years of boudoir modeling, brand representation, and television appearances, including Hawaiʻi Five-0. Behind the camera and on production sets, she works as a professional hair and makeup artist, including indie film hair and makeup, as well as a photographer, stylist, and creative director. Her experience in lighting, posing, beauty, production, continuity, and visual storytelling allows her to approach projects from both sides of the lens with a comprehensive, production-focused perspective.
 

Easter-Lily is also an aerial and movement artist with training in aerial silks, chains, trapeze, lyra, pole, flow arts, burlesque, and hula. She currently studies hula under Kumu Hula Candace Marticio-Melendez of Hālau Hula Ka Lei Mokihana I Ka Ua Noe. Across her movement and performance work, she blends athleticism, storytelling, expression, and cultural artistry with a strong emphasis on intentional representation.
 

Outside of the creative industry, Easter-Lily is a full-time Early Childhood Educator, curriculum creator, illustrator, and founder of several creative and educational ventures. Her work includes Lily’s Learning House, ELILY Artistry, Mahina Movement & Co., The Princess Academy, and other projects centered around education, artistry, mentorship, and entrepreneurship.
 

At the heart of her work is The GLOW Project, her community platform focused on empowering others through education, creativity, advocacy, and representation. Through GLOW and her broader work, Easter-Lily is especially passionate about mentoring youth, supporting underserved and AAPI communities, encouraging mental health awareness, and creating spaces where people can develop confidence, creativity, and a stronger sense of belonging.
 

Whether she is behind the camera, onstage, on set, in the classroom, mentoring emerging artists, or building a new creative venture, Easter-Lily’s work is connected by one purpose: using artistry, education, and lived experience to help others feel seen, capable, and empowered to grow.
