Milton Lewis
LEWIS, MILTON
An early life in the Rocky Mountains of Montana gave Milton Lewis a love for the great outdoors that has shaped his life and inspired him in his artistic approach, although as with many artists, it took time for this to happen.
Milton Lewis is certainly an artist who has “paid his dues”. After attending art school in Oklahoma and working there for 10 years as an illustrator/designer, Lewis decided to pursue a career as a professional artist. After years on the road doing art shows and fairs, perfecting his technique, Lewis developed a style that is uniquely his own. Combining transparent and opaque watercolors and continually experimenting with new colors, more movement, contrast, and light, Lewis creates a fluid landscape that lies in the background while his figures, which he paints with gouache, seen to float on the paper.
As Lewis has worked to perfect his painting technique and style, the public has gravitated to him. Subtleties in color and light continue to be Milton’s hallmark as his reputation as an artist and the demand for his work continue to excalate as an almost unbelievable rate.
Living in Southwestern Colorado with his wife Pam, Milton feels good about his art and his life. Surrounded by the Rocky Mountains that he loves, he continues to experiment and grow with each piece that he paints.
