At this exhibition you will enjoy the artist's striking use of brilliant colors to depict what he observes from the lookouts, hills, rivers, dunes, fields, roads, and farm country in the northwestern area of Michigan's lower peninsula. Heiser's new paintings highlight Harbor Springs, Empire, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Glen Arbor, among other areas.

Heiser, 77, was born in Chicago where he attended the Art Institute and later studied oil painting at the University of Illinois while pursuing a degree in architecture. After more than 30 years in Chicago working as an illustrator for advertising agencies and studios, Heiser ultimately opened his own studio. We have been honored to display his unique paintings at SAPER GALLERIES since 2009.

"Illustration was a wonderful experience and training ground for my current landscape painting. Unencumbered by deadlines as an illustrator, oil painting offers many freedoms including a third dimension of texture and brushwork. While I enjoy painting on location for its teaching aspects, I prefer studio painting where less visual scenery forces more imagination and design," Heiser notes.

You are certain to be captivated by Lou Heiser's unique portrayal of some of Michigan's lesser known scenes from the eyes of a truly talented artist who captures those moments when light and majesty highlight the VISTAS OF MICHIGAN.

Heiser also paints southwest-themed paintings during the months he lives in Arizona. Southwest Art Magazine recently featured a story on Heiser's current exhibition at the Tucson Desert Art Museum.
