Special Tour Guests

Wayne had a very special guest and her family on a private tour to Hana recently. For those of you who love fine art as we do, it was a pleasure having Lisa de Kooning, daughter of famous modern artist William de Kooning, and her daughters, their friends and there security guy on board his Temptation Tours excursion. The entire family was a delight and it was fun showing them the great beauty of Maui.

Lisa's father was a major player in the New York art scene along with Jackson Pollack after WWII. In the post-War era, de Kooning painted in a style that came to be referred to variously as Abstract expressionism, Action painting, and the New York School. Lisa works in bronze and has a decidedly modern touch in her renderings.

Lisa, a very accomplished modern sculptor in her own right, was a charming guest and the others delightful also. Didn't talk much art - after all, she was on vacation - and Wayne always has a lot to tell his guests about Maui. A very enjoyable trip.
