Milwaukee at Night

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 20x16
Milwaukee is a vibrant and progressive city with an active arts scene. I grew up in Milwaukee and I will always be grateful for the wonderful art experiences I was exposed to as a young artist, through scholarships provided to the Milwaukee Art Museum Saturday program.

The Oriental Theatre is located in the East Side neighborhood of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was built and opened in 1927 as a movie palace, and features two minaret towers. It is officially known as the Oriental Landmark Theatre.

Milwaukee Art Museum and Skyline

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 24x30

The Calatrava design of the Milwaukee Art Museum on Lake Michigan is a spectacular achievement in beauty and engineering. The open "wings" of the Burke Brise Soleil are accented by the skyline of Milwaukee with the War Memorial on the right and a dramatic evening sky above.

Milwaukee's North Point Lighthouse

Original Painting - Acrylic on canvas 16x20




Each year I paint a special holiday scene to share with my family, friends, and collectors. This year I chose North Point Lighthouse, a Milwaukee landmark. Perched on top of the bluffs over Lake Michigan it provided a guiding light for sailors just like the star guiding the wisemen in the Christmas story. Happy Holidays everyone! Available from the artist $600.00
