TIM GARCIA

Maui artist Tim Garcia has been working in marble, local wood, and bronze at his upcountry studio since 1999. The simplicity of tools used and the variety of available rock to carve excites all of my senses from the “PING” of hammer and chisel to the cold smooth feel of a finished piece.

In my work, I search for a harmonious balance of shape and form that is pleasing to the eye and pulls the viewer to touch. I’m constantly finding the natural beauty on Maui influencing my work from the mountains and valleys to the moon and sea.

Part of Tim’s journey is working in the community in support of community art organizations that help spread and empower the creative arts on Maui and in the state of Hawaii.

He teaches sculpture at Hui No‘eau Visual Arts Center in Makawao, Hawai‘i.
