Sigmund began self instruction in painting upon retirement from a business career in 1988. He first attended numerous workshops featuring a variety of mediums and techniques, and read a great many books by nationally known painters and teachers. Certain influences emerged, especially Edward Betts, Mary Todd Beam, Katherine Liu, Gerald Brommer and Christopher Schink. Recently, individual instruction by Marjorie Dean Andruk solidified a desire to paint in an impressionistic style including abstract and nonrepresentational renderings.

Artist Statement
My goal, through the use of color and design, is to invite the viewer to share the emotion and excitement of the painting. not just once, but repeatedly. I am continually exploring new and different ways to achieve this. We are successful when a viewer lingers and experiences an emotional connection.
