About the Artist

My journey began at Central Academy of Commercial Art

in Cincinnati, OH. specializing in Illustration and Graphic design.

In 1979 I moved to Northern California freelancing in the Sign

 and display industry as a Lettering Artist, Graphic Designer,

and Muralist. Inspired by Abstract expressionism, and a passion

for color, my fine art is influenced by Fauvism and Abstract Expressionism. 

Working in the design industry with consultants and designers expanded my horizons and 

working methods to include a variety of styles and mediums.

I returned to the Midwest in 2001, and began a new body of work inspired by the local landscape.

A lifelong desire was fulfilled in 2005 when I was commissioned to create a 911 memorial in bronze 

for Peekskill, NY. I have worked with the Verdin Company, in Cincinnati, OH on the design and

execution of several public art installations. 

Teaching opportunities also came my way, and I have had the privilege of working with grades 

K-12 as an Artist in Residence in rural Indiana for the last ten years. I reside in Aurora, IN and am 

married to musician and guitar maker Jamonn Zeiler.
