Fred Somers -
Painting the Extraordinary Beauty of Ordinary Places

 "My oil and pastel paintings are a celebration of life and light. I seek to bring to others an experience of the beauty of light as it bathes creation and to point them to a pathway that reaches into eternity.  Sometimes the subject invites us to explore further with our imagination, and sometimes the most exquisite treasures are right at our feet." - Fred Somers

Fred Somers has been painting full-time since 1975 at his farm-home-studio near Northfield, Minnesota. His award-winning work has shown in museums in the U.S. and in Scandinavia and is included in numerous corporate, public and private collections. He teaches  oil and pastel classes and workshops. He welcomes the opportunity to work directly  with collectors to create a commissioned painting. 

Frederick Somers will conduct two three-day workshops in conjunction with the Arts International Exhibit. The first for pastel painting, September 29 - October 1, and the second for oil painting, October
2-4. Each workshop will be offered to EPAA members for only $250.  For information on the pastel workshop contact Candy Mayer at (915) 329-4194 and for information on the oil painting workshop contact the EPAA office at (915) 534-7377 or Don Beene at (915) 269-5196.  Don’t procrastinate! Register early as we expect both workshops to fill up quickly. Candy has said that several people have already sent in their $50 deposits for the pastel workshop and the oil workshop should do equally well. This is a great chance to study with an internationally renowned artist.
