H. Wesley Wheeler — Artist’s Biography
Studio: 
Born: Hudson, NY | 1940

I began painting late in life with water color, and as a realist. That wasn’t quite “meaty” enough and I soon evolved into a Color Field painter, usually oil on canvas. I also enjoy composing and painting the occasional geometric. Over time the work has become more minimalist or reductive in nature. Compositions usually come into mind when I see a set of colors that makes the creative juices flow.

I was born and raised in the village of Kinderhook, NY. The urge to paint was almost certainly genetic. My Mother was a regional landscape and portrait painter, my Uncle a museum curator and director.

I have been shown in galleries since 2005, including solo shows in NY and Washington DC.

My background is as a Fortune 300 executive, and includes a stint as Director of Executive Education at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s, Lally School of Management.
