Welcome back!! It must feel wonderful.

Your work is unique and very interesting. I love the faces.

I have much new work on my site as well. I've been dabbling in photography again. I've always enjoyed it. I'm having fun. :))

Thank you for your kind words.

Right now I am only doing 9x12 and 18x12. Some people have been buying them and putting them in groupings which look very good.

Again thank you for the support and compliment. :)

I draw the originals with black pencil, then digitally edit with sepia or a boost of color. Black and white is really my favorite, but I am now excited about the sepia as well.

I have purchased a 9x12 stretched canvas and I am going to try painting the original drawing.

Profile Information

About Me:
Avid collector of art and advocate for artists. And an experimenting artist with an engineering, business, R&D, high tech and paper making background enjoying the journey. I work full time as a Program Manager in the Consumer Electronics industry. Art is my creative release. I'm a self-taught artist with a smattering of workshops in photography, monotype and watercolor. My personal collection includes "La Soffiata" by Vigliaturo and "Beatus Vir" by Benzoni. In addition, etchings by Picasso, a carborundum print paper mask by Berck-Vitz and monotypes and mobiles by local Bay Area artists.

About My Art:
I work in mixed media, monotype and watercolor. My most recent pieces in monotype were created under the instruction of Master Printer Erik Madsen and San Jose ICA Master Printer Fanny Retsek. Use of space, geometric shape, abstraction, texture and color are the primary elements defining my artwork. My mixed media pieces utilize recycled paper, stone, wire and found objects or objects collected in my family through my life.

My art is inspired by my background in engineering, experience in the paper industry, colors and styles of the mid 20th century, eastern philosophy as well as art styles and works of modern abstract and contemporary artists and engineers I've observed in my travels around the US, Europe and Asia.

I use the print studio at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art to work on my monotypes. http://sjica.com.
Favorite Music:
Jazz, Hip/Hop
Favorite Artists:
Picasso, Vigliaturo, Benzoni, Berck-Vitz, Rigout

Abstract Thought


"Abstract Thought" By Curt Schauer, 2008

I was going through my monotype prints yesterday and came across one of my first pieces. I remember being inspired by shapes in Vigliaturo's glass sculpture "La Soffiata". I was experimenting with short strokes from the brayer to create disorderly geometric shap… Continue

Continuing with the theme of light pollution, this enhanced digital photo of a staged still life depicts light from a distant star shaded by artificial human made light through time. How long will it be before we can no longer see the natura… Continue

"Light Pollution 3.3: In Flight"
By Curt Schauer, 2009

Bryce Canyon is one of the darkest patches of land in the US. It's become a haven for amateur and professional astronomers and visitors to stargaze. Man made light pollution invades the darkness and encroaches on many species that depend on darkn… Continue

New Digital Painting Series (Studies For Prints)



"eKiss 4.0" By Curt Schauer, 2009
eKiss is a new series of experiments using digital painting to create studies for work in the monoprint studio. I'm currently using a mouse as the pointing device and find that it's difficult to control and not very ergonomic for drawing. So I'm going to invest in an i… Continue
