About Your Instructor

Kevin Wueste

The focus of his work centers around a classical application of realistic techniques and ideas to create works that are memorable, beautiful without artifice and may be interpreted individually based on the experience of each viewer.

Kevin is fascinated by the beauty in the common-place; the miracle of nature and how complex and challenging it can be to convey simple things well. Kevin studies with Robert Liberace, Anthony Ryder, Travis Schlaht, Camie Davis, Ted Minoff and Henry Yan as well as many other excellent artist/teachers.
