ABOUT THE ARTIST

Art - Paintings and Novels by Maui Artist, George Brinner

George R. Brinner

I studied two dimensional design with Loren Dunlap at the John Herron Art Institute in Indianapolis before transferring to Tulane University in New Orleans to complete my formal art training. I was one of three artists selected by Dunlap to work on the Owenite restoration project in New Harmony, Indiana and was an instructor for the Blaffer Foundation Art Projects that followed.

I'm represented in public and private collections throughout the USA, Canada, Japan, England, Germany and the Netherlands. My paintings are part of the permanent collections of the Houston Museum of Art and the Hawaii State Foundation for Culture and the Arts.
Juried Exhibitions include four Indiana Artists Shows with an Eli Lilly Purchase Award. Illinois Artist Annual at the Chicago Art Institute and numerous Art Maui Shows.
Selected for the Maui Arts and Cultural Center's Edward Bailey "Witness to Time" Invitational Exhibition.
I was a finalist in the prestigious Schaefer Portrait Challenge 2003 and again in the second Schaefer Portrait Challenge in 2006.
I am represented on Maui by The Village Gallery in Lahaina.

My friends spend their days frolicking in the Pacific waves as they crash onto the beach at Keawakapu. Occasionally they lounge in the shade of the five palms that line a grassy knoll and sip mai tais and gin and have wonderful conversations about this and that.

I sometimes join them of course. More often I find myself in my studio, only a block away, standing in front of a painting in progress or at my keyboard working on my new novel, "Einstein's Road Trip".

I came to Maui from Illinois by accident in 1978 and have made the island my home ever since. One perk that I enjoy as an artist and author is that I can survive in one place about as well as any other.
