Mike Carroll Gallery
2 reviews for Mike Carroll Gallery
My husband and I met Mike Carroll in the lobby of the Lodge at Koele. He was displaying some very beautiful prints that caught my eye - different scenes around Lanai.
We visited his gallery in town (love Lanai City - very cute!) and were especially drawn to a plein aire painting of Pu'u Pehe (Sweetheart Rock) in the moonlight. We like art, but had never bought an original oil painting. After lunch, we came back and purchased it. Mike framed it as we requested and shipped it to us. It arrived about a week later and we were ecstatic to get it. It's a wonderful reminder of one of our favorite vacations. I think he's the best artist on Lanai, and we feel fortunate that we had a chance to buy this piece - he had just recently completed it. I highly recommend this artist!
This gallery is a hidden gem in a little-visited town on the little-visited island. Lanai is dominated by two high-end resorts, but Lanai City feels like what Hawaii would be if it weren't overrun by tourists.
The Gallery has great paintings done by Mike Carroll as well as other artists. Instead of bringing home a chunk of postcards to remember our vacation, we bought one beautiful print (I guess that makes us adults). It's a wonderful reminder of our time in Hawaii, and isn't hidden in a box with all our other stuff.
I highly recommend visiting Lanai if you're visiting Maui (they have daily ferries), and visiting Mike Carroll's Gallery.
