Watercolor artist Mort Solberg's interest in art began early and he pursued it though the years at the West Technical High School and the Cleveland Institute of Art. Following graduation, Solberg entered the world of commercial art, first working at an art studio, then for American Greetings. He was content to work successfully in that field until a job as art director for another card copy brought him west.
"Every painting should have, an emotional experience, however it is communicated - by color, composition or subject. My objective is to create an illusion of emotion that will transport the viewer into the world I have created. To paint what you see is one thing but to feel what you see and to be able to paint that impression is something else again."
His honors include a purchase award from the National Watercolor Society’s top award, and an award of merit from the Society of Animal Artists. Solberg is a member of the American Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society. His paintings are in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Art and the American Bicentennial Gallery, among others.
