I was born and raised in Honoka’a, a small sugar plantation town on the North East side of Hawaii Island. We grew up spending most days in the cane fields, rivers, and surf, forming strong connections with the land. I left the island after high school for college, and earned a degree in Fine Arts in Southern California. After moving back, I worked trade jobs and found work recovering wood from naturally fallen Koa trees in Hawaii’s high mountain lands. Working closely with Koa, I became interested in using its unique colors and grain in artwork and developed a process to present wood as wall panel art.

I hope you enjoy the work.

Roy Tsumoto has always worked with wood. His parents owned Monkeypod Center in Kapalama, Hawaii where he learned the wood working process from cutting the tree, to milling the lumber and creating finished products.

Since 1983, he has been making jewelry boxes and desk accessories which he sells at craft fairs and to several galleries in Hawaii. He tells everyone that working with wood is his “therapy”.

Roy recently retired from the Department of Education where he was a drafting teacher at Radford High School, state resource teacher and educational specialist for Industrial Arts, and education officer overseeing the Repair and Maintenance Program.
