Fred Schollmeyer

Fred Schollmeyer has been painting professionally for thirty years. His artwork is
painted in a Photorealistic style. He uses acrylic paint and airbrush to produce his
finished artwork. His subject matter varies greatly from vintage toys to local
Missouri landscapes. He feels that the painting process itself is the most
important aspect of being an artist. The process is a relaxing and personal

experience that is very self-rewarding.

Since childhood Fred has always been interested in the arts. He was an art
teacher for thirty years and always found time to produce art during that period.
Over time his students taught him the importance of art in their lives and his.
His work has been featured in over twenty national art exhibits. Since 2008, nine
of his paintings have been featured in the prestigious Watercolor USA Exhibit in

Springfield Missouri.

Fred’s artworks have been included in several national publications including
North Light’s “AcrylicWorks” series. In 2020 his book “Photorealism in the
Heartland: The Acrylic Paintings of Fred Schollmeyer” was published. The online
literary review site “Book Authority” chose it as one of the best acrylic painting

books of the year.

Since the mid-1990s he has displayed his work in numerous art fairs throughout
the Midwest. In 2012 he became a member of the “Daily Painters” group
showing and selling his work online at dailypaintworks.com.

Fred is a signature member of the Watercolor Honor Society and the Missouri
Watercolor Society. He is also a member of the Best of Missouri Hands, the
Columbia Art League, Arts Rolla, and the Jefferson City Art Club.
His work can be found in collections throughout the USA and Europe.
