Elliot Kwai Fong Chang
In 1999 Elliot Kwai Fong Chang had a dream of stones and carving stones. Following the path of that dream he found himself enrolled in a stone carving class.
In the ensuing years, as he explored the art of stone carving, he has also learned about his own spirit, traveling what he describes as a “never ending journey.”
Using direct carving techniques, Kwai Fong allows both the spirit and the energy of the stone to emerge and shape the final piece. This creates stylized, abstract pieces which reflect both his inner soul's spirit and his dreams.
Born and raised in Hawaii, Kwai Fong now resides in Santa Barbara. His studio is located close to the beach and open to a tree lined creek. This setting allows nature and the Aloha spirit to continue permeating his life and work. His works are held in private collections.
