“Bucks County has been my home for a lifetime," says Alan Fetterman, the 67-year-old artist.
Recognized as one of the most prominent regional artists of our time, Alan Fetterman has already left a deep creative indelible imprint on the art scene.
In his lifetime Fetterman has created approximately 2,000 paintings and 25 sculptures, nearly all of which are held in collections and priced from $1,000 for a small painting to his largest to date at 8 feet by 9 feet that sold through a gallery for $50,000. Collectors say he paints from the eyes of a bright heart and kind spirit with a powerful touch of goodness held inside each painting.
Art and lifetime awards reflect Fetterman’s success, including the Central Bucks Chamber Lifetime Achievement Award, Bucks County Community College President’s Award, the Rotarian Four-Way Test honoree, and the Kay Scholar honoree at the University of Pennsylvania, to name a few. He also spent seven weeks in Brazil as an Ambassador of Goodwill with Rotary International, and received a dozen other medals and awards.
As Bucks County’s first “Artist in Residence” with a legacy of over 50 one-person shows, Fetterman produces work sought and collected for not only continuing the Pennsylvania Impressionist tradition, but for creating his own vibrant energetic contemporary legacy of color and composition. He’s traveled extensively throughout the Americas and abroad, living and learning cultural values and old-world aesthetics that has rendered a large creative lexicon with sculpture, poetry, prose, and music.
Fetterman was awarded the Philadelphia Sketch Club medal of Honor by the oldest art club in America and has a degree in philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania, and a degree from Bucks County Community College in American studies.
He’s been featured and showcased in over 100 art venues and galleries in places as diverse as Carmel, California; Twilight Park and Hudson River Valley in New York; Curitiba, Brazil; and Vero Beach, Florida. He’s a past member of New York City’s Salmagundi Club, and his work and life have been profiled in dozens of magazines, columns, and books.
