Red Hook - Brooklyn
13 x 22
Watercolor
Ted’s initial art training came during high school in Phoenix, Arizona. Ted always remained interested in art but a tour in the US Navy and a career in engineering interrupted his early progress. Even though Ted maintains a full time job in the energy industry, he remains excited about art in general and watercolor in particular. Ted has since studied with nationally known instructors Gerald Brommer, Tony Couch and Fred Graff and continues training and development in watercolor composition and design with Canton artist Bette Elliott in the Thursday critique class.
Ted works in watercolors and acrylics primarily in a representational style however he experiments with non objective and abstract styles. He leaves it up to the viewer to use his or her own intellect and experiences to find the underlying meanings.
Ted likes to create art using "the things that people see and use everyday" as his inspiration. His ideas involving common everyday scenes or objects spring from his extensive foreign and domestic travels as well as glimpses of New York City. Ted continuously strives to accomplish the goal of creating something that is entertaining and thought provoking for other people to look at and enjoy.
