About the Artist
Aloha, I am Joel P Heinz Sr. I was
born in Minnesota, raised in
California, and now live my dream in
Maui.
In 1995, I began painting using acrylic
paint on canvas. All of my art training
has come from associating with other
artists and the joy of experimenting
and discovery. My favorite subject is
Tropical Marine; I love it so. When I
paint the sea and all the delightful
things therein, it brings me peace;
then, everything else falls into place.
I dabbled in Egyptian art for a short
time in order to work in detail, a
noticeable characteristic of most of my
artwork. I want my detailed artwork to
be clearly seen whether viewed up
close or from a distance.
Through the years, I have gained a
greater appreciation for the Hawaiian
culture and it's primitive art. This has
led to subject-matter changes in my
canvas paintings. I was intrigued by
the geometric designs on Hawaiian
Kapa (known as Tapa Cloth in other
Polynesian Islands) and ancient
Hawaiian petroglyph rock carvings. I
began to combine these two cultural
icons in my paintings. I have even
taken artist's license to create a few of
my own petroglyph designs.
Recent acquisition of Tapa Cloth has
led to a creative painting frenzy that I
am still enjoying today.
After much encouragement from
friends, I began sculpting some of my
favorite petroglyphs in Koa wood, a
native Hawaiian hard wood treasured
for its beautiful grain. I have also
been carving in lava rock, blue rock,
tumbled marble, and fiberglass to
create platforms for my koa carvings,
coaster sets, and commissioned
garden decor.
Mahalo for visiting my site. Please

the column to the left to view my
various works. I hope you enjoy it as
much as I enjoy creating it.
