About
About Kai Pua
In Hawaiian, "Kai" means ocean, and "Pua" means flower. We like to think our gallery is where the ocean meets the flowers.... Amazing torched worked glass becomes sea life in the hands of our talented owner/artist John Lindquist and his colleagues. Tropical flowers are brought to life with oil paintings by owner/artist Anna Keay Lindquist. Anna also creates intriguing jewelry incorporating the shells, pearls, jewels, gems, and stones of the earth.
Once located in the heart of Lahaina, Kai Pua can now be found online or at local Maui Pop ups. For our pop up schedule please contact us as it changes weekly.
OUR COLLEAGUES

Daniel Lindquist
Daniel Lindquist was first inspired to work with glass when his older brother John Lindquist brought a torch home. John left his set up in the house when he decided to make his move to Maui for a formal apprenticeship. It was at this time that Daniel gained interest in becoming a lamp worker himself. With instruction from his bother and many books and practice, Daniel found his niche. He joined his brother in Maui for his formal apprenticeship from Sean Price at Maui Crystal and then stayed to be a key asset to the family business at Kai Pua in 2011. His keen eye for detail, artistic flair, and strong work ethic have propelled him to be recognized as one of the top lampwork artists in the USA.

Sean Price started his journey in glass in 1990 when he followed his sister to Maui to work at The Crystal Dolphin. He recieved his formal apprenticeship from D. Duncan starting shortly after. Sean took his term as owner/shop master starting in 2000. His technical skill, eye for design, and ability to bring pieces to life are unmatched. He is also responsible for launching the careers of dozens of glass artists (including the Lindquist brothers) through his apprenticeship program.
