Neil's Specs
- Neil Sherman
- As a child growing up in Rochester, Minnesota, Neil Sherman did not dream of becoming an artist- he was more preoccupied with soccer and basketball. But he always enjoyed art and his hidden talent began to emerge during high school. Neil studied art at St. John's University and then spent seven years painting and drawing with Joseph Paquet in St. Paul. Neil moved to Grand Marais, Minnesota in 2005 and shortly there after made an investment in his artist lifestyle, he purchased a house (rustic...running water is not a priority). This seems consistent with his purist approach to painting. He prefers to paint scenery while observing it in the outdoors. Neil has become proficient in tying down his easel with rope and tent stakes to ensure that his paintings do not get hijacked by the north shore winds.
