George Ouimette
Biographical Info George Ouimette 6980 Geier Road Forestville, WI 54213 920-559-6980 [email protected] George has been making things for as long as he can remember. He strives to create things that are unique to his surroundings and himself. Current works are one-of-a-kind vessels or sculpture based pieces. In 1977 he graduated from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls with BS in Broad Area Art Education. The first two years of college he considered himself primarily a drawer and printer, but was unknowingly being lured to the three-dimensional side of art while taking courses such as fibers, glass and sculpture. Taking a clay class was the final push, but there was the realization that he could combine his 2-D experiences with his 3-D capabilities. His focus changed. Acquiring knowledge in both the two and three-dimensional areas of art has allowed a mixed media approach to his work. Since 1977 George’s work has been juried or invited into shows and fairs in Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota, resulting in awards and acquisitions from private collections and institutions.
