| Raised in southern California in what he describes as a "bleak and
austere fundamendalist Christian upbringing, Wes Hempel does oil
painting that reflects his retreat into an inner world of fantasy and
imagination---insulated from prescribed dogma. He lives in
Berthoud, Colorado, about an hour north of Denver, and works out of a
spare bedroom used for a studio. Hempel spends much time on his
paintings, usually completing about one a week, and drawing from what
he calls a head (showing 500 of 2173 characters). |
