Artist statement
Albert's passion for art goes back to grade school. For more than 20 years he has been developing his painting skills. Not even a 1992 designation of “legally blind” stopped Albert from pursuing art. He fell in love with oils in 2006 and is continuously experimenting with new techniques, subject matter, and styles.
Biography
In 2005, while employed as a massage therapist at the Kalahari Resort, he exhibited his art for the first time at the Memorial Union Galleries in Madison, WI. Since then, Albert has been featured in numerous newspaper articles as well as local television interviews. Albert's work has also been featured in the Shared Visions Show in Southern California, an internationally renowned show for blind and visually impaired artists. Through his art, Albert has raised awareness and funding for the VSA Arts of Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Council of the Blind and Visually Impaired and Occupaws, a Madison-based guide dog service for the blind.
