A Maui Painting Journey
It’s time to update the Studios Story. Looking back to the genesis of my artist journey on Maui, I realize what an honor it was to live and create in the fun town. It's three years now since the fire where tragically at least 102 lives were lost. Continuing on, still making the art inspired by this island and that place is one way to pay tribute to what was lost. This slide show has images beginning from Lahaina in the late 70's through other island studio locations, but
my favorite studio will always be in Lahaina; it was just called The Shack…the iconic small wooden house built on piers, out over the shore next to Library Park. It had been a gallery for a few artists before me. It was really the ultimate work-live space. The ocean washed under the house with a constant marine serenade and sunsets were non-endingly amazing. There was space to paint in The Shack and to dye clothes on the deck or the shore. You could just launch yourself into sea from the rocks under the house and have a swim! Lahaina memories remain clear and bright.
