The art of Martin Wessler

"I love to paint or draw directly from life, mostly outdoors. I discovered early that the quality of my art work is more vibrant and alive when I paint from life. Although I paint in either oils or pastels, my objective is the same; to observe and respond to how the world looks and feels in the moment. Painting or drawing from life can evoke a rather meditative connection to the world around us not normally experienced in our everyday lives. I assert that this experience is related to spiritual states evoked by quiet meditation, and that this 'connection' allows for observations of our world’s extraordinary beauty.”

Born in upstate New York, Martin mostly grew up in the Midwest near Chicago and then St. Louis. These days Martin can often be found painting his impressionist plein air works around Kaua'i and other Hawaiian islands.
