Brooks Hickerson painting the roses red
I paint my impressions of the Northwest. My plein air paintings are painted outside on location. My subjects are landscapes, flowers, buildings and people of Oregon. I use water media to paint with: watercolors, acrylics, gauche and ink. I have been influenced by Northwest artists Emily Carr, Nelson Sandgren, Erik Sandgren, Sarkis Antikajian, Humberto Gonzalez and Bets Cole.
I have been painting full time since 2002 when my wife, Peggie, and I moved to Eugene, Oregon from Colorado. I am a member of Watercolor Society of Oregon (WSO) and Oregon Society of Artists. I have had paintings accepted in five recent WSO shows, and six OSA juried shows. I have won awards in two WSO shows and two OSA shows. I have also won awards in the 2010 and 2011 Hillsboro Plein Air Festival. In April of 2010 my wife and I moved to downtown Portland where I continue to paint scenes of Portland.
Prior to moving to Oregon I worked for IBM for 31 years in Texas. My computer programming projects varied from Gemini, Apollo, and Space Shuttle at NASA’s Houston Space Center, to word processing, networks and operating systems. In addition to my drawing and watercolor classes, I have degrees in mathematics and computer science.
