A.M. Schaer

A. M. Schaer’s interest in art dates from childhood, beginning with the day she was given a box of crayons as therapy to improve her motor skills. Drawing was one of her favorite activities as a child and still is. Although her latest work includes animals and abstract shapes, she remains fascinated by the human figure and draws from life whenever possible.

She has worked in almost every 2d medium except printmaking, and has also created sculptures in cast metal, welded steel and clay. After a career in web design she returned to fine art full time in 2010. Since then she has had 2 one person shows and her work has been included in numerous juried competitions, such as the Assistance League of Houston Celebrates Texas Art and The Big Show at Lawndale Art Center.

She teaches watercolor to a group of senior citizens through Life Enrichment of Houston. (LEOH) A. M. Schaer is a native Houstonian.
