Marine Artist Adam Koltz
U.S. Navy Surface Warfare Officer 1967-1988 |
"Primarily, I work in pen and ink and watercolor to bring life, richness, and movement to my presentations. My many years at sea have brought me an understanding of the interaction of ships with the natural forces of wind and water. My desire is to present more than a portrait of a ship or a marine animal; I want to bring to the viewer a vibrant presentation of a day he or she has spent, or dreamed of spending, at sea."
