About

I want my painting to ask questions. 

Sometimes the question itself is the point.  Sometimes the question is a dare, spurring me to explore something new or  imagined.  And sometimes the question requires an interpretive response, as in a portrait.  All painters thrive on mystery, challenge, and interaction with the subject, whatever it may be.

​

I invite you to explore my site and view the genres in which I have worked to date. Many of these paintings have been exhibited in regional and national juried shows.  Some  are for sale; contact me for pricing.  Others are in private collections, but do email me if you would like something similar--or if you'd care to pose the challenge of a new mystery, or a portrait.

Please send all comments and inquiries to mwertsch@gmail.com. 

I'd love to hear from you.
