Stephen Quiller is an internationally known painter who works primarily in water media, monotypes, and intaglio printmaking. He is best known for his innovative approach to water media painting: watercolor, gouache, acrylic, casein and their combinations, and for his use of color.
His research and development of a color wheel for painters - called the “Quiller Wheel” - is now used by thousands of painters throughout the world.
Stephen Quiller has painted in many parts of the world, but is primarily known for his work done near his home in southern Colorado. These subjects include beaver ponds, snow shadows, water patterns, wild iris, and mountain rhythms, capturing the spirit of the San Juans. He is a Signature member of the American Watercolor Society, National Watercolor Society, Rocky Mountain National Water Media, and Society for Painters in Acrylic and Casein, among others.
A popular workshop instructor, he teaches his approach to color, water media, composition, and on-location painting, throughout North America and internationally.
Stephen shows in the Mission Gallery of Taos, New Mexico, and during the summer months he and his wife, Marta, operate their Quiller Gallery in Creede, Colorado.
