About the Artist, Alan Maley:
An internationally acclaimed artist, Alan is best known and highly regarded for his
sensitive interpretation of life at the turn of the century. His romantic images allow the
viewer to step back in time and enjoy that more genteel era when life moved at a more
leisurely pace. Stimulating activities and everyday events are beautifully interwoven with
historic locales to create intriguing vignettes of people and places in absorbing and
romantic scenes of the late 19th century. Born and raised in England, Alan was privileged
to have come from an artistic and talented family who recognized his abilities at a very
young age. He first chose the glittering world of movies and quickly distinguished himself
as one of the foremost artists in the motion picture industry where his works appeared in
many of the best known and most beloved movies of our time. His celebrated
motion picture career was crowned by his peers when he was awarded an Oscar for his visual
effects in the Walt Disney production of “Bedknobs and Broomsticks”. While
busily involved in the movie industry, Alan found time to devote to his own paintings
gaining inspiration for his subject of choice, the turn of the century, from researching
motion pictures set in that period. Alan’s untimely passing in 1995 has left a huge
void in the world of art.
Fortunately he left a legacy of unpublished art that has permitted his family to
continue to provide his beautiful images which are eagerly sought by collectors throughout
the World. H&G Studios is proud to continue to feature this distinguished artist and
friend in their fine quality music boxes.
