About Shane Robinson

Shane has a BFA from the University of Iowa and has worked in pottery, glass, fine furniture, and more recently acrylic painting and abstract photography. His work communicates an ambiance that is hard to find. His subject matter is sourced here in Hawaii, but his results are unique, sophisticated, colorful, and powerful. He is also a very accomplished technologist, and his pixel paintings are very leading edge.

Shane’s piece, EDGE : GREEN, a 48″ x 48″ original acrylic painting on panel, was recently accepted in the annual juried exhibition at the Hui Noʻeau. The Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts saw it there, and purchased it for the state’s permanent art collection. He is an emerging artist here on Maui and we are thrilled to be able to share his work with you in our store.

We will have several pieces of Shane’s work on display from his Abstract Photography collections and an abstract painting or two. Shane and his partner Roxanne Darling will also have a design station on their laptop where you can look at digital mockups of how different pieces of art look on a bedroom, living room, or hallway wall. We all know how hard it is to pre-visualize how something will work!

While pursuing an art degree at Humboldt State University, Anna also relished in other mediums such as ceramics and jewelry making. After making commissioned paintings for friends and clients she began selling artwork from restaurants, wineries, and galleries in Santa Barbara, CA where she developed a strong reputation as an artist.  She has now transpired as a professional painter, finding that unique detail in nature, that lustful scent of each petal, delighting the eyes and soothing the soul.

Anna now lives on the west side of Maui. She and her husband, glass artist John Lindquist, recently opened their own studio gallery in Lahaina called Kai Pua. You can meet Anna most days at Kai Pua and see live demonstrations daily. Anna also exhibits on Wednesdays at the Four Seasons Artist Showcase in Wailea.

Come by to meet Anna and see or bring home some of her amazing work!

Rebecca’s Bio

Rebecca Lowell arrived on Maui nearly two decades ago, from her home in rural northern California. Not long after, with just $78 left, she checked into the Bungalow, an $11-a-night hostel in Wailuku, Maui’s county seat – and started to paint. After a week she had enough paintings and hitchhiked across the island to Lahaina’s weekly art fair.

Today, after years of success in galleries across Maui, she has her own – Rebecca Lowell Fine Art – on the beach-walk at Ka’anapali Bay. There, she paints and offers her original paintings, giclée prints and photographs – wide-ranging work from elegant photographs of Maui’s tropical flowers and beaches to oil paintings of world-renowned Pu’u keka’a   (“Black Rock”) on Ka’anapali Beach. She also creates playful abstract paintings featuring words and wisdom from around the world.

She’s especially proud of her partnerships with four Maui landmarks – a beachfront, open air gallery at The Ka’anapali Beach Hotel (known as “Hawaii’s most Hawaiian resort”), works placed in the historic Kula Hospital in Upcountry Maui (designed in the 1930s by famed Hawaiian architect Charles W. Dickey), the Maui Ocean Center, where she was the guest artist on their opening day, and a  gallery location at the Maui Tropical Plantation where her art is on display around the  plantation grounds as well as in the gallery featuring her fine art prints.

Rebecca studied photography in Germany, calligraphy and design in California and art in Hawaii. Before pursuing art full time she raised two children, Steve and Ann, and developed a small design and fashion business that eventually produced hand-painted clothing for Nordstrom’s and Hawaii’s Crazy Shirts.

Her creative expression has evolved over the years, ranging from textile designs, landscapes and seascapes in oils, colorful abstract acrylics and mixed media works, to her latest passion: seeking beauty with her digital camera in hand. She rises before dawn to catch the magnificent ocean swells brought in on a passing storm, and on other days wanders the floral splendors of  Maui Tropical Plantation gardens in pursuit of the perfect plumeria.

She believes in following her heart and trusting her intuition as it leads her to places where she feels very creative and the most at home. Whether with paintbrush or camera in hand, her spirit shines through, reminding us to appreciate life and the beauty that is all around us.
