Artists Schaefer-Miles Just completed Mediterranean odyssey aboard the Riviera Oceania Cruise ship.

Schaefer-Miles

The husband and wife painting team of Kevin D. Miles and Wendy Schaefer-Miles is unique in the art world. They are two artists with one vision, working side-by-side on the same canvas.

 

We first came across their unique art onboard a cruise ship; on an “art at sea” auction.  We fell in love with one of their unique works of art and were able to acquire it. We actually have been to the gallery on their farm nestled in the beautiful rolling hills of Trempealeau County, WI. We have talked to and Kevin, and met Wendy at their studio and can say “what a wonderful, personable couple”.   

 

We just received an email from Wendy that said that they have had a wonderful season traveling and painting! They just returned from a Mediterranean odyssey. They were the artists-in-residence aboard the Oceania Cruise ship, Riviera. They taught art class of fine arts in Artists Loft, a new on-board enrichment center.

 

You can now see them at  their last show in the Vail Valley at the Beaver Creek Art Festival today and Sunday in the Village in Colorado from 10 to 5 pm!

This year Wendy and Kevin celebrated their 25th year of collaborating on the same canvas - a unique mark in art history!

Their collaborative works have been displayed in some of the nation's largest galleries alongside such noted artists as Peter Max, Salvador Dali, Picasso and Rembrandt. The Wisconsin Foundation for the Arts selected Schaefer/Miles as their commissioned artists in 2003. This prestigious honor afforded them the opportunity to hang one of their elegant oil paintings in the governor's mansion. It has been placed in the permanent collection of Madison's Elvehjem Museum .

The couple attributes their phenomenal success to the joy and love they have for their craft.  "We've been blessed to share our passion for painting and we're more excited about it now than when we started. Our work has become bolder, more colorful, and hopefully more engaging to the viewer."

 

Their vivid landscapes have captured the imagination of collectors around the world. Last year alone this prolific team painted and sold over 100 original oils. An amazing feat considering the amount of time the artists commit to traveling.         

Even though the artists are represented by the largest privately owned gallery in the U.S. Schaefer/Miles has established their own gallery on the farm, a destination for serious collectors that have ferreted them out. The artists now have a full staff to cater to the desires of their collectors. The gallery features a rotating collection of new originals and many of the artist's fine art editions.

Wendy & Kevin's newly revised website, www.schaefer-milesfineart.com has become a new venue for the artists to share with their audience. The colorful website lets the viewer take a sneak-peak inside the artist's studio. The website also features a virtual gallery where potential collectors can view a selection of the artist's recent works.
