- Biography
- As a teenager in the 1960s,
Don Maier began working
in watercolor as a means
of adding color notations
to pencil sketches, which
later became oil paintings as he worked in his
bedroom at night. He became increasingly
proficient at watercolor, enjoying the freedom
of capturing an image on location in one sitting.
A fast-drying medium, watercolor demands a
rapid approach. Maier finds it very fulfilling
to be able to walk away with a finished piece
within one hour as opposed to when he works
in oil or dry pastel, which required multiple
sittings.
A native of New Jersey, Maier served in the
Navy and fell in love with the western landscape
while stationed in California. He made painting
trips to Yosemite and the Californian desert.
Following a move to San Francisco in 1975,
Maier began to paint his favorite subjects -
Arizona’s deserts and national parks, particularly
the Four Corners region, including Monument
Valley and Canyon de Chelly.
Maier enjoys the challenges of painting in the
desert: the aridity, the sand and wind, and the
constantly changing cloud patterns on the
ground. He does not spend a great deal of time
thinking about his subjects, choosing instead to
paint because he loves the process.
Since 1994, Maier has made Marietta his
home. He paints Sope Creek near his house as
well as continuing to travel in the West as often
as possible. He admires the work of Frederick
Remington, Andrew Wyeth, Winslow Homer,
and John Singer Sargent. Maier has exhibited
his work in several gallery exhibitions in New
Jersey, California, and Arizona. A graduate of
the Newark School of Fine & Industrial Arts,
Maier taught Color & Design, Illustration,
and Computer Graphics for nearly ten years at
Bauder College in Atlanta.

Plein Air Painting Campers
I was going through old photos the other day when I came across some photos of my camping vehicles that I have had over the years, that I used on my watercolor painting trips. From 1973 to around 1990 I had two VW Mini Buses.

I just found out from this site that your wife Suzie is an artist and a good one. I like her work. Wonder if I can invite her as a friend.
