Caleb O Conner • Village Galleries Maui

Painter and sculptor Caleb O’Connor was born in Hawaii. He was raised on a farm on the island of Maui where he learned an appreciation for nature and independent thought. At 17 Caleb O’Connor attended the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore city. During his junior year Caleb had his first major gallery exposition in Washington D.C. at Gallery K in DuPont Circle. Caleb graduated with a BFA and has shown extensively nationally and internationally. He taught at college level at the Delaware College of Art and Design for one year, and then received a Fulbright Grant to study in Italy in 2002-2003. In Italy he learned the art of Marble carving, bronze casting, and wine drinking in the city of Pietrasanta.

Recently, Caleb ( with the major part of work done by his significant other) became a father. Having a son has only increased his zeal for life which is currently reflected in much of his recent work.
