  Uwe Werner is a multi-faceted artist whose work ranges from nonsubjective to realistic. Although he paints the pristine clarity of northern forests and lakes as well as the southern and regions, his greatest reputation lies in his realistic portrayals of the many moods of the sea which express his personal fondness for this sometimes malevolent, mostly benevolent power of nature.
"I feel the sea is so continually changing in its temperament; one need never paint the same scene twice. It can be warm, cool, stormy, calm or countless combinations of these moods."

Whether Uwe paints animals, seascapes, or children, he always conveys a sense of love and appreciation for his subjects and their individual personalities.
Uwe's paintings are widely collected throughout the world and have been exhibited in prominent galleries in Houston and Corpus Christi, Texas; Fort Smith, Arkansas; Scottsdale, Arizona; Seattle, Washington; Los Angeles, San Diego, Beverly Hills, La Jolla and Uwe's own gallery in Coronado, California.

Born in Koblenz, Germany in 1942, Uwe settled in Tacoma, Washington after coming to the United States. He studied fine arts at PLU in Tacoma, as well as at the University of Washington in Seattle, from which he received his degree in art.
His work has received national and local recognition in magazines and newspapers; it was featured in Southwest Art magazine in 1979. One critic stated "Werner brings sophistication to the seascape." Uwe doesn't present the stereotype decorator marine scene; his direction lies in the moods that speak to the viewer's realm of experience. His 'Feeding the Gulls' 16x22 Mixed Media Print paintings are sought-after by art enthusiasts who wish to acquire a marine scene for their collections.
