Dwen Creations (formerly known as Dwen Hawaii) was established in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1998 when he lives there. Dwen was making flowers with colored clay. From the first flower that he created, people were amazed at the beauty and delicacy of the flower. Soon people from far and wide were asking Dwen to make floral earrings, brooches, hair flowers and more and a new industry was born.
Dwen's work was so appreciated that Angela Baraquio, Miss America 2001, asked Dwen to design her accessories for the Miss America Pageant. Needles to say, Angela's beauty and Dwen's talent were the winning combination that got Angela the crown.
Now Dwen is back in Malaysia and has established Dwen Creations, an art shop specializing in art-jewelry accessories, gift, craft and fashion designing. Dwen's designs can be found in fine boutiques and specialty shops all over the world. His work can be seen on everything from umbrellas to watches, flowers and art.
A brief run down of Dwen's career path and highlights were:
1) Selected by Honolulu Magazine as Best Hawaiian Floral Artist
2) Hawaii Governor's Choice for Queen Liliuokalani Museum Project
3) Selected as special guest designer for KL Fashion Week 2003
4) Selected by the Ministry of Youth and Sport as one of Malaysia top 5 fashion designers in 2003
