Connie Oberg's childhood interest in art began with creative doodles and sketches. Art classes in her late teens unlocked a dormant passion. However, her blossoming artistic expressions were interrupted for several decades as she focused her energy on her roles as a wife and mother. With the freedom of early retirement and relocation to the Southwest, Connie took advantage of local college art classes and private coaching led by talented artists. Inspired by the striking southwest landscapes of local painters, she quickly refined her craft to the settings and figures she paints today. Her rich pallet and accomplished style She adeptly capture adobe, flora, petroglyphs, people and wildlife with evocative expression.
Connie embraces the bold use of color in her oil and mixed media painting. She enjoys venturing across a variety of subjects. But, the beauty and magic of the Southwest and natural settings remain evident in her work. Connie's work has been shown frequently in the Robert J. Moody Demonstration Garden Art in the Garden event in Yuma. She actively participates in the Mountain Shadows Artists Association ARTrails and various shows. Connie divides her time in her art studios in southern Arizona and northern Wisconsin, where she lives with her husband, Lawrence.
