Artist Keary Kautzer Paintings at UW-The Pyle Center

Wisconsin artist Keary Kautzer has forty-four paintings on the first floor of the UW-Pyle Center, 702 Langdon Street, next to the Student Union in Madison, Wisconsin. The exhibition will run until Thursday, May 28, 2026. A lifelong resident of Sheboygan, Keary spent 34 years capturing life through a different lens...as Director of WSCS, the city's cable TV station. But even before the cameras, art had always come naturally to him. His creative roots run deep, and over the past decade, he has bloomed into a prolific painter.... studying under celebrated watercolorist James Michael and finding his voice en plein air, painting directly in the great outdoors. Keary is drawn to the changing light, sounds, and textures of nature. Whether it is the movement of water along the Lake Michigan shoreline, the bustle of local events, or the quiet magic of Sheboygan's parks, he paints to capture a specific moment in time. His Impressionistic style, often rendered with only a palette knife, emphasizes mood over detail...offering the viewer a sense of what he felt in the scene. He is a regular at local art shows, a passionate supporter of fellow creatives, and a member of Sheboygan Visual Artists, the American Impressionist Society, and the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association. His work can be seen at Plum Bottom Gallery in Door County, the Plymouth Art Center and online at KearyKautzer.com and on Facebook: Keary Kautzer. Gallery hours are Monday - Friday from 7:45 am - 4:30 pm. Closed weekends, unless there is an event scheduled. Front desk phone 608.262.1122.
