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.
