Episode 069: Cara K. Griffin

Kevin Kirkwood shared a conversation with the talented Cara K. Griffin a few weeks ago in Lacoste, France. She shared stories about growing up in Alabama, the loss of someone special, and how she fuses her yogi lifestyle into a creative practice. 

Cara K. Griffin is a multidisciplinary artist based in Maui, Hawai‘i, working from a 100-year-old pineapple cannery. Her work explores impermanence, material transformation, and the tension between control and surrender. Fusing painting and sculpture, she uses smoke, plaster, plant matter, and metal leaf to create textured, evolving surfaces. Rooted in fine art and movement studies, her work is visceral and tactile—gestural, physical, and in constant flux.
