Welcome to Koleszar Art

 Richard Koleszar studied at Silvermine Guild Art School (then the College of Art) before entering Syracuse University and earning his BFA. His studies were interrupted by two years in the armed services, where he was honored with the Soldier of the Cycle Award. His memories of the hills of Germany and scenery of Switzerland linger.

After working as Arts Director for Grey Advertising Agency and SSC&B in New York City, the beauty of the landscape of New England called him home. Richard's passion for watercolor brought him to study with renowned artists such as Frank Webb, Robert Calrow, Tony Couch, and Tony VanHasselt. 

Richard's reverence for the earth is reflected in his works. He works in watercolor and oil, painting landscapes, seascapes, and portrait commissions. His style invokes the viewer to feel nature as he does. Richard taught watercolor at Founders Hall in Ridgefield, Connecticut. He lives in Norwalk, Connecticut.
