About The Maui Artist
Welzie creates unique, whimsical pieces of art inspired by his beach lifestyle and bright Hawaii surroundings. His paintings are shown at the Welzie Art Gallery in the Andaz at Wailea in Maui, as well as other fine art galleries across the Hawaiian Islands. You can also find large scale murals in Hawaii, California and Mexico. Welzie has been a featured artist for the Greenroom Festival in Japan and the Pow Wow Hawaii mural event, along with various publications. His uplifting use of color and imagery has gained international attention.
As a teenager immersed in the surfing culture, Welzie landed a job at a local surfboard manufacturer. His passion for art followed, using paint pens to draw images on the surfboards he created. Surfboards and art collided when he and surfboard shaper Carl Olsen started Two Crows Surfboards, a collaboration that allowed for complete artistic freedom which brought the inspiring surf art from the waves to the gallery walls.
Welzie spent over 15 years working out of his studio near the Banzai Pipeline on Oahu's Famous North Shore. Today, you will find him working in his studio in Kihei, Maui or in his art gallery at the Andaz Resort in Wailea, Maui. Please contact us to schedule a studio visit or drop by the gallery anytime.

"I believe the right piece of art has the ability to transform a house into a home, as it did for me as a child. My father is an artist and painted a giant wave landscape piece that hung in the living room. This piece quickly became the backdrop for all our family photos from Halloween as a kid to Prom Night as an awkward teenager. I can look back now and see how that particular piece became the centerpiece of our home. Art has the power to change how you feel, we naturally gravitated to that room because my father's painting cultivated feelings of happiness and joy in our family.
My style has evolved over the years just as I have evolved as a person. This can be seen through my choice of color and subject. Those who have watched the last decade of my journey say, “Your colors are so much brighter and happier now!” I have to laugh and respond with the acknowledgement that “I am so much happier!” This is one of the reasons I am so passionate with the belief that colors can transform our mood and home into what we want! Color is such a powerful tool, I am so grateful and honored to share the feelings that translate with each piece I create."
