Since arriving on Maui in 1973, George Allan has helped to influence the formation and development of the art scene on the island.

His work is in the collections of the State of Hawai’i, the City & County of Honolulu, the County of Maui and national corporate collections. He was awarded the commission to paint 100 paintings for the lobby of the Castle Theater of the Maui Arts & Cultural Center. There are 9 of his paintings in the collection of the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua and two at First Hawaiian Bank, Kahului.

After talking to George for a few minutes, you realize he’s a person you feel has become a lifelong friend. His outgoing spirit and genuine interest is evident in his way of life and attitude toward painting. Looking for visual excitement, good composition and color, George’s paintings captivate the eye. With straightforward palette knife techniques, he uses his oils with flair and panache, allowing the paint to react and interact. Using a relatively limited palette, George’s color has become his signature.
