Stan Moeller

The primary inspiration for Stan Moeller's art is his love of the natural world.

A Modern Impressionist, Stan's paintings portray the mood of reality, based on his personal interpretation, rather than technical reality. He seeks to capture the feeling of a place: the movement of air and light, and the textures of the landscape. As a child growing up in rural Indiana, Stan always preferred a blank sheet of paper to a coloring book.

He studied painting and life drawing at Western Michigan University, but he believes that painting every day, and painting "en plein air" with other artists, is the best teacher. Stan currently teaches alla prima painting and landscape painting classes, as well as en plein air workshops in the Northeast.

Stan's paintings are represented in both private and corporate collections throughout the country. He was awarded Second Place in the International Artist magazine Challenge; Seascapes, Rivers and Lakes and featured in International Artist #25, June/July, 2002 Les Amis De La Grande Vigne, in Dinan France (Brittany), awarded Stan a residency for the month of May 2003.
