New Year on Maui
Happy New Year from your favorite Maui gallery!
2017 was a big year for us at Maui Hands!
We celebrated our 25th anniversary, at which we honored a number of artist who have been with us since Maui Hands first opened it’s doors.
On a low note, as many of you know, we were the victims of a robbery in our Makawao gallery. As horrific as that was, we were so please to get some of our most valuable pieces back!
In 2017 we welcomed a few new employees, and our family of local artist also grew!
So, whats to come in 2018? We’re thinking NEW!
– possibly a new gallery?
– and a new website is in the works! We cant wait for it’s grand reveal!
Stay tuned!
New Artists to Maui Hands
we have two new artist who represent the our beautiful sea life!
Underwater photography by
Ernie Black
As seen through his work, Ernie Black has always had a love for the ocean and the animals that swim within. Originally from Naples, Florida, he has found his way out to the island of Maui. The clear waters, big surf and abundance of colorful marine life have all contributed to a fascination that cannot keep him away from the ocean. Self-taught, Ernie prides himself on using only natural light. This, mixed with his free diving abilities, allows for a peaceful environment for his subject matters.
Bob Berger
My favorite creations involve inhabitants of the ocean. Each piece is individually inspired and created by hand from my memory and imagination. In addition to ceramics I am also an avid surfer, snowboarder, fisherman, and free diver.
The Art of
Richard DiGiacomo
His pieces are a captivating addition to Maui Hands
Richard says, “I have an exhilarating passion in life to fuse color and creativity onto metal panels. That comes form my compassion to impact lives with new vision, motivation and inspiration. In decades of working with men and women who have faced difficulty in live, I’ve learned the need to impart beauty, amazement and joy into the recipient, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. That can change lives.”

Panna’s Pono and Auwe!
Pono (Righteous)
In early December, Hawaiian Airlines announced that they will launch daily non-stop flights between San Diego and Maui. This is great news, as many of us have family and close friends who live in southern California!
These daily flights will launch on May 1st, 2018.
The flight from San Diego to Maui is set to leave at 8:15 AM and the flight leaving Maui departs at 12:50 PM
We hope this new addition is a convenience for you all!
Auwe (Oops)
Entangled Humpback freed off Lahaina
On Christmas day, a team of trained responders removed and recovered 400 feet of heavy gauge line out of a Humpback whale’s mouth. The gear is now being measured and analyzed in hopes of determining it’s origin.
The whale was first reported by a crew aboard an Ultimate Whale Watch boat.
** If you see a marine mammal in distress, officials ask that you keep 100 yards distance and to call the NOAA 24-hour hotline to report the animal.
