REVIEWS
2008 Utah Arts Festival Opening Night Review.
Artists of the Utah Art Festival

I was incredibly impressed with local artists Iosua & Andrienne Taeoalii, coming
from Murray, UT. They had some really great spray paint picture of various
popular icons, both modern and historical. I'm certainly not an art critic, so
forgive me if I sound green, but their stuff was really great. It really wasn't
all that expensive, their pieces sold for $65, and if I had and extra $65 that I
didn't have to spend on gas I totally would have picked up a spray painted
picture of Che Gueverra.

Adrienne Nicole Taeoalii
Born and raised in Salt Lake City Utah, Adrienne Taeoalii graduated from
Hillcrest High in ’98 and has always had a strong interest in music and the
arts. After a few summer-salts, a plate of pickles, and meeting her husband
(Iosua Tai), her art interests were forced to become a daily part of her life,
when she and Iosua started selling their art on eBay in 2005. Since then she has
had the luxury of using her creative noggin on a daily basis, and at the same
time make a living out of it. She has been painting, designing, writing, singing
(mostly to herself and baby) and recently rehabilitated her love
for photography.
Iosua Tai Taeoalii
Iosua Tai Taeoalii (Josh), Samoan/American artist and award winning filmmaker,
was born and raised in Murray, Utah. In 1995 Josh created his production
company, Weird Chief Pictures, and since then has been producing and directing
feature films and television, including Darkroom, Ultimate Combat Experience and
3.2 Percent. Maintaining his passion for the arts, Josh has experimented with
many mediums including music, interior design, tattoo, web design, architecture,
poetry, graphic design, TV and film production and he’s most recently been
dabbling in the world of the landscaping arts. Josh’s love for the arts has kept
his mind occupied for the past three centuries and he’s recently been fortunate
to have the opportunity to focus on the arts full-time. He is often inspired by
his wife Adrienne, daughter Nalei and son Soul and owes thanks for any and all
of his accomplishments to his loving and supportive family and friends.
