Tommy
Tamangmed is from the village of Gargey in the municipality of Tomil
on the island of Yap. He began taking himself seriously as an artist
in 1995. His dedication, discipline, and diligence have established
him very quickly as one of Yap's finest artists. Tommy's focus, depicting
culture, flora, and fauna of his island, provide special awareness and
insight to locals and visitors alike. His skill in expressing himself
in watercolor and his carvings communicates the love and respect he
feels for his island culture. Tommy has the hope of relaying the rich
cultural heritage to future generations, helping to keep alive the local
culture and legends as western influences gradually become a part of
Yap's island life. Paintings by Tommy Tamangmed have been purchased
by collectors of all points of the globe.. |

Luke
Holoi is from Lothow Island in Ulithi, one of the outer island atolls
of Yap. His interest in art began in lower school and continued through
high school. Upon his return from Hawaii in 1996 he was selected by
his island community to attend an art training program being offered
on Yap. His selection provided a direction for his desire to make art
a career. Luke’s interest in traditional tattoos has influenced his
style in other artistic media, just as his more-recently-acquired proficiency
in watercolors has enhanced his skills in creating tattoo designs. |
