Artist's Statement...

Lynn Shue's Village Gallery in Whaler's Village was the most respected gallery in Lahaina in 1973 when I first arrived on the brig Carthaginian from Europe, and I was immediately drawn to the excellent art that she represented.

Although I have drawn and painted since I was a kid and later studied and painted throughout Europe for ten years, it was largely due to Lynn's encouragement and introduction to the art and theater community in Lahaina that I put off returning to my home in St. Anton, Austria - as it turned out-permanently. Lynn also introduced me to the nutty ballerina in the play, "You Can't Take It With YOu," being produced by the Valley Isle Players, the community theater group in Lahaina at that time.

The rest is history. I married the nutty ballerina, and I've been represented by Lynn Shue for over 33 years in her 3 galleries in Lahaina and Kapalua. The Village Galleries are the oldest galleries in all of Hawai'i, not just Maui, and I'm very proud to be a part of such a prestigious and well respected art organization.

George Allan has been an award-winning oil painter on Maui for over 30 years. Previously, he spent a decade in London and Austria, painting and studying art in the summer, running businesses and skiing in the winter. The opportunity to help deliver the "new" Carthaginian from Denmark to Lahaina, Maui, changed all that. Lahaina town was just beginning to blossom into an art colony of growing importance, and George couldn't help but be drawn into the camaraderie and educational opportunities the town afforded him.

He has since been accepted many times in the prestigious Artists of Hawaii juried show of the Honolulu Academy of Arts, as well as some 21 times in Art Maui, Maui's annual juried show. His work is in the collections of the State of Hawaii, the City and County of Honolulu, the County of Maui, and national corporate collections. Those who wish to view his public permanent collections on Maui may see 100 pieces at the Castle Theater of the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, nine at the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua, and two at First Hawaiian Bank, Kahului.

When time allows, George teaches oil painting at Hui No'eau Visual Arts Center, Volcano Art Center, and in Advanced Placement Art Classes in the schools. Believing that artists should give back to the communities that support them, George often donates his time and his art to worthy causes.
