About
Ethan D. Semmel • artist, teacher, writer, and gardener.
Hi,
I've spent years exploring how creativity shapes our lives — whether I'm painting in the studio, planting in the garden, or putting thoughts into words. My work began with a love of art and brushwork, and has grown into a place where I share not only what I create, but what I've learned along the way.
Here, you'll find pieces of all the worlds I care about:
- Art — behind-the-scenes looks at my paintings and process
- Teaching — resources for learning oil painting
- Writing — essays on ideas, culture, and belief
- Gardening — snapshots from the colorful spaces I'm cultivating
This site is where it all connects — the creative, the thoughtful, and the everyday. I hope something here sparks your curiosity, inspires your work, or simply brightens your day.
Thanks for stopping by — I'm glad you're here.
— Ethan
