Maui Fine Art Collective
An artist-led doorway into Maui's working art community.
We connect collectors directly with a deliberately selected group of artists living and working on Maui, through artwork, stories, commissions, physical viewing opportunities and human advisory.
We believe the best way to understand Maui art is not through a larger catalog.
It is through closer access.
Why a collective?
Maui has no shortage of artists.
What is harder to find is a single doorway through which a collector can encounter very different practices, understand the people behind them and receive help without losing the direct relationship that makes artist-led collecting meaningful.
MFAC exists to create that doorway.
For collectors, that means thoughtful discovery.
For artists, it means professional presentation without erasing individual voice.
For designers and hospitality teams, it means one relationship with access to multiple Maui practices.
For Maui, it means presenting its working art community with the specificity, context and professional care it deserves.
Curated at the source
MFAC is intentionally selective.
Membership is not based on who can upload the largest catalog or who happens to make work with a recognizable Maui subject.
We look for a distinctive artistic point of view; a serious and developing practice; technical and material competence; a meaningful relationship to Maui; professional readiness; work that contributes something different to the Collective; and an artist whose own voice can stand behind what is being presented.
Selection continues after membership.
Not every work an artist makes needs to appear in MFAC.
The goal is to present the work each artist most wants to be known for.
Artist-led means the artist stays visible.
MFAC keeps the artist visible at every stage.
Artist pages center the practice and voice. Artwork pages let the work lead. Stories preserve process and context. Advisory begins by listening.
Maui is not the theme.
Maui is the environment.
It is where these artists work, raise families, teach, build studios, encounter changing landscapes, remember histories, watch development, paddle, walk, photograph, carve, paint and make relationships.
That is very different from using Maui as a visual shorthand for paradise.
MFAC is interested in what artists are making from within Maui now.
Some of that work will be beautiful.
Some will be quiet.
Some will be strange.
Some may barely resemble the island at all.
It can still belong here.

What we offer
Maui Fine Art Collective is a doorway into artwork, artists, and collecting support rooted on Maui. Everything below is meant to make that path clearer.
Available works and editions
Browse finished works presented for collection, including open editions where an artist has authorized ongoing production in defined sizes and finishes. Each piece stays tied to the artist who made it.
Original works
Some works exist as unique originals. When an original is available, the listing says so plainly so you know what you are considering.
Works at Scale
Select photographic works can be realized at architectural scale for a defined wall. Eligible pieces can include room preview tools, and MFAC can develop a Wall + Scale Study from your space before fabrication begins.
Commissions
Commissioning through MFAC starts with the artist and the idea, not a catalog SKU. Scale, material, complexity, and schedule are agreed before work begins. There is no single timeline that fits every commission.
On-Maui viewing
When a work or a relationship calls for it, we help arrange real viewing on Maui rather than leaving everything to a screen. Details depend on the artist and the piece.
Art advisory
Human advisory for collectors, designers, and hospitality teams who want help choosing, placing, or commissioning work. We begin by listening. Write aloha@mauifineartcollective.com.
What makes MFAC different
A collective, not a dump of listings
Membership is selective. Artists are chosen for point of view, seriousness of practice, and readiness to stand behind the work. Not every work an artist makes needs to appear here.
Artist-led, not anonymous product
Artist pages, artwork pages, and Stories keep the maker visible. Collecting stays connected to a person and a practice, not a generic tropical SKU.
Maui as place of practice, not a souvenir label
Maui is where these artists live and work. It is not treated as shorthand for paradise décor. Some work will look like Maui. Some will not. It can still belong here.
One doorway to more than one practice
Collectors, designers, and hospitality teams can meet different Maui practices through a single relationship, without erasing each artist’s voice.
Closer access over a larger catalog
We would rather help you understand fewer works more deeply than overwhelm you with volume. Discovery, connection, and collection stay deliberately human.

How collecting works
Most paths begin the same way: find a work or an artist that holds your attention, then write us if you want help.
- Write aloha@mauifineartcollective.com for advisory, viewing, commissions, or trade questions.
- Browse available works and artist pages when you already know what you are drawn to.
- Preview eligible works in your room with mobile AR where available; for Works at Scale, ask about a Wall + Scale Study before fabrication.
- Ship with clarity: MFAC ships beyond Maui; shipping details depend on size, material, and destination (see the FAQ).
We answer as people. If a question needs an artist directly, we say so.

Frequently asked questions
What is Maui Fine Art Collective?
MFAC is an artist-led doorway into Maui’s working art community. It connects collectors with a deliberately selected group of artists living and working on Maui through artwork, stories, commissions, viewing opportunities, and human advisory.
Who is behind MFAC?
Lance Ehrecke founded the Collective and is one of its artists. The roster also includes Erin Sabado, Paulo Sabado, and Avi Molinas (painting and sculpture). Artist pages stay centered on each practice.
Is MFAC a traditional walk-in gallery?
MFAC is built for thoughtful discovery and direct relationship, online and through arranged viewing on Maui when that is the right next step. It is not trying to be a souvenir walk-in with a giant undifferentiated catalog.
What is the difference between an open edition and a Work at Scale?
An open edition is an authorized print configuration the artist continues to offer in defined sizes and finishes. A Work at Scale is a large, wall-defined photographic realization, often planned with room context before fabrication.
How do I start a commission or get advisory help?
Write aloha@mauifineartcollective.com with what you are hoping to live with, the space if you know it, and any timing constraints. We will guide the next step, including involving the artist when needed.
