Artists

Four artists. Four ways of seeing Maui.

There is no single way to see this place.

For one artist, it begins with a perspective most of us will never stand in. For another, with the structure of a leaf. A remembered building becomes something imagined. A piece of wood becomes a human presence.

Different lives. Different materials. Different reasons to make art.

What brings these artists together is not a shared style. It is a commitment to making work worth spending time with.

Meet the people behind it.

Lance Ehrecke

Photography · Perspective · Scale

What happens when a photograph holds more than the eye can see?

Lance is drawn to perspectives that change how a familiar place feels. Sometimes that means photographing Maui from an unusual vantage point. Sometimes it means bringing hundreds of exposures together into a single image. Sometimes it means moving the camera until recognizable details give way to color and motion.

His work invites you to see the whole from a distance—and discover something else as you move closer.

Erin Sabado

Botanical Art · Watercolor · Printmaking

A leaf is never just a leaf when you really look.

Erin pays attention to the things we can pass every day without noticing: the shape of a ti leaf, the character of an ʻōhiʻa blossom, the rhythm of a botanical form.

Through watercolor and printmaking, he brings those details into focus. His work invites a different kind of encounter with Maui—one that begins by coming closer.

Paulo Sabado

Painting · Mixed Media · Memory

What if the place you remember isn’t quite the place you saw?

Paulo begins with things he knows: a building, a road, a familiar landscape, a piece of family history. Then imagination enters. Color shifts. Perspective changes. The ordinary becomes unexpected.

Raised in a family of artists, Paulo carries forward a practice shaped by observation, storytelling, teaching, and the freedom to see beyond what is directly in front of him.

Avi Molinas

Painting · Sculpture · Human Presence

Some works ask you to look. Others ask you to walk around them.

Avi moves between painting and sculpture, following a lifelong interest in human presence, material, and form.

His path has taken him from Barcelona to the Pyrenees and eventually Maui, where he continues to paint and carve. Whether working on canvas or with wood, he creates pieces that reward time, attention, and the experience of seeing from more than one angle.

The stories behind the work

Sometimes the most interesting part begins with a conversation.

Why this subject? Why this material? What did the artist see that someone else might have missed?

A finished artwork offers one encounter. Hearing the person who made it offers another.

Spend a little time with the artists, their processes, and the stories behind selected works.

Some connections begin on a screen. Others happen in person.

If an artist or a particular work has caught your attention, we’d be glad to help you go further.

Explore available pieces, learn more about their making, or ask what can currently be seen on Maui. For collectors and design professionals, we can also help consider how a work might live in a particular space.

No need to know exactly what you’re looking for. Curiosity is a good place to begin.
