Volcano Art Center will be presenting recent artwork by Daniel Moe in an exhibit titled “Carved By Sand” Saturday through Feb. 7. The artist will be at an opening reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday.
The solo show features a new collection of blown, sculpted and carved glass work that explores patterns, symbols and images highlighting the environment, spirit and culture of life on Hawaii Island.
Moe was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1967 where he received his bachelor’s degree in hot glass from The University of Wisconsin in 1991. He then studied with masters of the glass medium at Pilchuck Glass School, today the world’s most comprehensive center for glass blowing education. Inspired by the work of innovative glass artists like William Morris, Karen Willenbrink and Chihuly, Moe committed himself to a career in glass.
Drawn by a powerful calling from Hawaii Island in 1999, Moe currently lives and works in Kalapana where he gets his inspiration from living near Kilauea Volcano, as well as the dramatic ocean waters that surround the Kalapana area.
“Carved By Sand” will be on display from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily at the Volcano Art Center Gallery inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The exhibition is free to the public, however, park entrance fees apply.
