About the Artist
Aloha, I am Joel P Heinz Sr. I was born
in Minnesota, raised in California,
served in the Army in Viet Nam, had a
career in California, and now live my
dream in Maui with my wife, Kathy.
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.
During 21 years prior to moving to
Maui, I gained an 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 click

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