Hallway - D. E. Uhlig

Hi. I’m D.E.Uhlig. I’m an artist, author, husband and father. For as long as I can remember, I have loved to draw. Years ago I gave my wife a hand-drawn card for our anniversary, and she loved it so much she made me promise to always hand-draw her cards. Then our three kids made me promise to do the same with their birthday cards. And when I posted some of my drawings online, people began asking how they could see more of my work—so I created a free, weekly email newsletter called “The Happiness of Art.” I send one email per week, each Friday. Typical issues include new artwork, prints for sale, interesting links and a Weekly Doodle. Subscribers are automatically entered in a monthly drawing for a free, limited edition fine art print — subscribe today at www.HappinessOfArt.com.

Artist's Statement
GLASS, GLORIOUS GLASS
The reflection of light upon a surface.......
The interaction of colors.....
The unforgiving nature of the material.....
The evolution of the work as it progresses.....
The discovery of the process.....
The constant decision making....
ALL of these,  give me great satisfaction!
