Please stop in and visit the gallery. I am usually painting there since my gallery is also my painting studio. The gallery is filled with my artwork, some of my student's work, great original art jewelry and form time to time other interesting items of art. Don't hesitate to stop by or make an appointment. I'm there to answer questions and let you see what I'm working on at the time. Look forward to seeing you.

Seilers' Studio and Gallery is home to the artwork of Michael and Kathleen Seiler painter and poet respectively. Unusual contemporary works in asphalt and alkyds coupled with poetry creates a beautiful array of museum quality works. Artwork is both in the process of being made as well as being displayed. These works were created in a traditional manner, using wood stretchers with heavly gessoed canvas, however that is where traditional ends. I have chosen asphalt because asphalt’s nature is labile, and has the potential for unexpected change. So life, ever changing, brings both good and ill. Asphalt, smooth and shiny, also reflects the colors of its surroundings. We likewise, in our personal journey, reflect the “colors” of our experiences. The alkyds lend some chemical changes and instability to the work. On occasion, color is added to signify some emotional element, demonstrating the very nature of redemption in a particular situation.
