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 acrylic 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
characteristic of most of my artwork. I
want my artwork to be clearly seen
whether viewed up close or from a
distance.
In recent years, I have gained a
greater appreciation for the Hawaiian
culture. This has resulted in
subject-matter changes in my recent
work. I was intrigued by geometric
designs on Hawaiian Kapa (also known
as Tapa Cloth) and ancient 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. Some recently
acquired Tapa Cloth has led to a
painting frenzy that I am thoroughly
enjoying.
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, tumbled
marble, slate and fiberglass to create
coaster sets and commissioned garden
decor.
Mahalo for visiting my site. Please click
on any of the tabs at the top of the
column to the left to view my various
works. I hope you enjoy it as much as I
enjoy creating it.
