Joshua Paul Schicker was born in Omaha, Nebraska and was raised in a variety of places, including Izmir, Turkey; Guam; and Washington State. These diverse cultural experiences had great influence on his later artwork. The artist arrived in Phoenix as a freshman in high school and had the good fortune to study under a talented university professor, where he excelled as a figurative artist for the next six years.
Learning traditional, mixed media and digital art was a great asset as he developed his personal style. In his own words… “Being a centered brain individual, the computer has become an important tool for me…just as important as canvas and paint.”
Schicker’s style is loose and contemporary – his abstracts have flow and rhythm, with organic elements as well. The artist works mostly in acrylic paint on canvas. His work can be found in collections throughout the United States and Canada.
