Allan  Cooney  was  born  in  Cunnamulla,  Queensland.  Born  into  a  farm  family  and  spent  many  years  in  the  family  business  before  going  into  an  executive  career  in  management.  Now  lives  in  Toowoomba  but  thinks  Eulo  in  far  western  Queensland  is  home.  He  has  worked  variously  as  a  jackeroo,  barman,  roustabout,  labourer,  ringer,  salesman,  footballer,  station  manager,  pastoralist,  classer,  studmaster,  activist,  pilot,  consultant,  business  executive,  trainer,  mentor,  share  trader,  CEO.  Allan  has  worked  in  places  like  China,  Antarctica  and  South  America,  and  across  most  of  Australia.  He  helped  develop  a  new  economic  engine  for  remote  aboriginal  people,  lead  an  Antarctic  expedition,  has  been  a  passionate  advocate  for  sound  stewardship  of  the  land  and  through  all  that,  an  artist.  Allan’s  work  has  a  meaning  to  it,  to  be  evocative,  sometimes  an  observation  of  contemporary  matters,  sometimes  to  be  a  calm  place  in  a  strange  world.    The  signature  work  is  large  and  can  “fill”  a  room.  Allan  doesn’t  try  to  paint  with  a  particular  style  or  to  an  identifiable  genre,  though  his  work  has  an  identifiable  character  that  is  unstructured  with  obvious  “hand”  and  a  degree  of  naiveté.  Each  work  is  a  new  adventure.  Allan  likes  the  art  to  be  personal  as  a  sharing  of  himself  in  the  work.  And  mostly  he  likes  to  be  certain  that  within  everyone  is  an  artist  and  art  is  universal.
