Andy Fletcher - New Paintings

Andy Fletcher’s new body of work is a special exhibition of smaller paintings. These paintings feature scenes from the Wisconsin landscape, dotted with farms, rendered in plein air. Fletcher’s atmospheric skies, broad horizons, and depictions of quaint homesteads serve as a nostalgic reminder of an older and more sustainable way of living,

Fletcher earned a B.F.A. from Carroll College and an M.F.A from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He's taught at Winona State University, the University of Wisconsin –Milwaukee, the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, and Carroll College. Now, he is a full-time artist and exhibits his paintings from coast to coast.

Sometimes I paint just because I think something is beautiful. Some are simply about the weather. Some celebrate old hand built buildings or the family farm. Most are a rejection of where our food comes from and our culture in general. Most are as much looking back as projecting forward. All of them are sincerely me.
