Marine artist Wyland got his start in Laguna Beach before moving part time to Maui, where he would dive with the humpback whales later depicted in his life-size murals and paintings.
“They had to close down Front Street, there was so many people enjoying it,” he said.
But Wyland said he keeps thinking about that wall. Despite the fires decimating everything, the concrete wall survived, he said, charred but still standing amid the devastation.“I want people to remember this place and art is the way to do it. When it’s time, I will go out there and paint that mural as a gift to the people of Maui, for hope,” he said. “To create beauty and hope – that’s what Maui was, and will be in the future.
But he has hope, Wyland said while speaking from Oahu, where he bought a home after spending several years in Maui. Wyland was scheduled for an appearance at his Maui gallery in a few weeks, with plans to stay in his old room at the Pioneer Inn. Instead he will be holding a fundraiser on Oahu this coming weekend.
