Sterling Hoffmann has been painting and drawing all his life. From the moment his mother put a Crayola in his hand, art became his way of recording the magical world around him. Sterling continued honing his plein air painting skills during his post-graduation stay in Romney, West Virginia. As he got to know the farm families, he set out to capture the old barns and rolling landscapes. In 2004, he settled in Sonoma County, California, where he has been inspired by local artists, including Camille Przewodek and Craig Nelson. He is currently exhibited at Sebastopol Gallery, and online at www.sterlinghoffmann.com
