Our Story
Hawaii Fluid Art created a fluid art style all its own:
![](https://storage.googleapis.com/fh5/798a1df9-9e89-4806-9395-dbe7eca0d05d.jpeg)
Maya Ratcliff, founder of Hawaii Fluid Art, began her art career helping people with brain injuries delve into their artistic talents as therapy. She eventually developed her proprietary method of fluid art using acrylic paints and a special pouring medium while working from her home and area resorts. As word spread by students thrilled at seeing what they could create, the demand for her classes grew. Ratcliff opened the first Hawaii Fluid Art studio in Waikoloa, HI, where her fluid art technique is now taught during multiple daily classes.
“I feel that everyone can be an artist, and I love helping inspire people and bringing joy to people through art,” Ratcliff explains. “Fluid art is a fun way to bring people together for a unique experience focused on self-expression. Together, we make feel-good art.” In addition, our instructors go through a certified training process that teaches color theory, design, process, and our proprietary fluid art techniques. Hawaii Fluid Art’s professional instructors help students achieve beautiful results every time.

Diverse Revenue Streams: The success of an art franchise depends on its ability to generate multiple revenue streams.

In addition to hosting workshops and art events, you can use your studio for private parties, corporate team-building activities and fundraisers.
We have also established a formal commission structure for local artisans to encourage them to sell their pieces in our retail galleries, and we recommend wholesale vendors that can supply inventory that appeals to customers seeking “retail therapy.” This diversification allows you to maximize your earning potential while catering to a wider audience and establishing a strong brand presence in your community.
