Lil White Bridge by Kirk Boes, framed

Kirk Boes is a dynamic and imaginative artist who has called Lahaina, Maui, home for over 50 years. His vibrant oil paintings, infused with whimsy and emotion, are heavily inspired by Van Gogh's intensity and Chagall's dreamlike worlds. Collectors from around the globe seek out Boes’ works, drawn to their unique ability to blend fantasy with reality. His beloved children’s book, *An American Dog in Paris*, further demonstrates his playful yet poignant approach to storytelling.

As an artist and educator, Boes serves as the Arts Education Director for the Lahaina Arts Guild, nurturing the creative minds of Maui’s youth. His works are showcased in prestigious Hawaiian galleries like Martin & MacArthur, where they captivate art lovers from all walks of life. His pieces often evoke deep emotional responses through the vibrant interplay of color and light.

Despite the challenges posed by the 2023 Lahaina fires, Boes remains undeterred, his artistic spirit as alive as ever. “I paint what I feel more than what I see,” he explains. “There’s something magical in translating emotion into color.” This philosophy resonates deeply with collectors who see in his work not just beautiful images, but a window into a more heartfelt, fantastical world.

Boes continues to inspire both his local community and a global audience. “Art is not about perfection, it’s about passion,” he says—words that encapsulate the warmth, vitality, and lasting appeal of his creations.
