Kurt Feuerherm is
an artist focused on the abstraction of nature-related subjects.

understanding of nature and his exposure to varied grographic
areas of the
world.

state of Washington, Alaska, California, Arizona, Utah, Maine,
New York, and Cape Cod Massachusetts. Since his early college
days, Kurt has traveled extensively in Mexico and later in the
Carribean Islands.
During the 1990s, Kurt lived and taught in Florence,

he traveled throughout Europe developing bodies of work reflecting
the images and nuances of different topographies and cultures.
