“This American artist enchants our eyes and senses with his textured paintings where colours explode almost magically.”
~ Art & Design Magazine, Paris, Feb/Mar/Apr 2020
Welcome to SchafferArt.Ā My work strives to recognize the complexities of humankind as well as to explore the pleasures or our inner child.Ā To do this, I employ an organic use of paint, ink, metal, earth, tile, and other materials in an expressionistic style.Ā That style takes three forms: Interpretive, Figurative, and Abstract.Ā And while the forms may be different, each piece is infused with texture, color, shape, movement and, I hope, soul.Ā I invite you to enjoy the variety of my work.Ā Thanks for visiting.
