About Stefan Mierz:
Stefan Mierz was born in Lowell, MA in 1978. His family moved to the art colony, Rockport, MA, when he was two years old. His interest in drawing and painting was apparent at an early age. Encouraged by family members and school teachers, Stefan continued painting and was given oil paints at the at age of 15. Imaginative landscapes were the main subject of his early works.
Stefan attended Johnson State College in Johnson, VT and majored in fine art with a focus on oil and acrylic painting. After five years in the mountains, the call of the ocean air brought him back to Rockport, MA where he resides today. Stefan finds the outdoors energizing and likes to spend his free time in the day hiking around the beautiful beaches and wilderness areas around Cape Ann. He cofounded the Art Nook Gallery in Rockport in 2012.
Stefan's art style is a unique fusion of natural inspiration, modern and classical aesthetics, and tactile experimentation.
