Featured Artists

Seth Haverkamp

Haverkamp uses a limited palette. Red, blue, yellow, purple, cadmium orange, and white. He uses pure color as often as he can instead of mixing. This is how the figures seem to come alive on the canvas. Even without a light source shining directly on the surface, there is a glow that emanates from his paintings. More
