Milwaukee Artist Joe Hameister paints exquisite little still-lifes to capture the essence of what he finds most beautiful.
"I discover the ability to create a formally beautiful piece. I discover the ability to represent local color and do it with sensitivity that makes the objects in the paintings look real. However this is not important to me. The representational element is only meant to be understood on the surface of the viewing experience. What is important to me is to transcend the mundane meaning of the objects represented." -Joe Hameister
