Frank Herzog
Artist Statement:
“Painting fulfills my desire to be creative and a need to occasionally escape the craziness of the fast-paced and hectic world we live in. My style varies and both the watercolors and acrylics are expressive, full of vivid colors and painted in layers, which sometimes makes them appear to be another medium. Frank also reveals, in response to an interview / jury question, “I have not often been asked what drives me to paint, but it’s not complicated. I paint because I love it, the creativity of it, the solitude of me, my brushes and my paints! When you view my paintings, I hope you will see and feel the serenity, peacefulness and solitude I try to create. Finally, let me say that I am a self taught watercolorist. Yes, I have attended classes and seminars and have read books and articles on painting. But, like most artists, my works express feelings that migrate from somewhere deep inside my psyche. I don't think it's something you can be taught, rather the talent and creativity is just there to be expressed.”
