Philosophy

At SavvyPlay, hearts beat in giggle-time. Secrets are whispered in sassy splashes of light. And whimsy meets wit in lilting watercolors that dance effortlessly across page, canvas, and air. With a wink and a smile, SavvyPlay’s images have quickly become the must-give gift between sweet souls, and the must-have display of our purest, most joyful selves.

SavvyPlay’s creations are the work of fine artist Kristie Fujiyama Kosmides, and have been presented to celebrities like Courteney Cox Arquette, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Simpson, Brooke Shields, Katie Couric, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and others. (Her greeting cards are a coveted gift bag item!) But SavvyPlay’s delicious appeal is universal, reaching far beyond Hollywood, across the States and into Canada, Europe, China and Japan. Collectors and customers come from all ages and walks of life. After all, everyone loves to Play…

Story

Fresh yet complex, lively yet sophisticated, Kristie Fujiyama Kosmides is the rare artist whose work touches the heart and spirit at the same moment it reaches the eye. Born and raised in Hilo, Hawai’i, Kristie demonstrated an innate artistic creativity from a young age. Her talents were nurtured throughout her youth; she went on to attend Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle and received her Bachelors of Fine Arts (as well as the Dean’s Thesis Award) from the Otis College of Arts and Design in Los Angeles. She studied under famed watercolor artist Linus Chao and has received multiple awards for her work.

Kristie currently resides in Los Angeles, California. She maintains a studio there as well as in Hilo, Hawai’i. For more information, please contact us.
