Carl Bretzke, MD
Minnesota artist and radiologist Carl Bretzke paints the juxtaposition of the mundane and the dramatic. Vivid colors set off by surrounding neutrals, diagonal elements, value contrast and prominent brush strokes create intrigue alongside the familiar. 
He has studied with Joe Paquet, another Minnesota artist, and has won five awards last year alone in plein air events. 
He will have an exhibit at the Susan Calloway Fine Arts gallery in Washington, DC from February 6 - March 7.
