Sulzen Fine Art Studio is the home/studio of artist Julie Sulzen
and photographer/writer Dan Zamudio. We are a wife and husband
team living in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago. Our
work is American Landscape painting and photography with a focus
on the Chicago/Illinois area. We have two major exhibitions a year
(April and October) and one Holiday show (December). We also
showcase drawings, watercolors and etchings in both figurative and
landscape themes. We offer classes in painting, drawing and darkroom
photography techniques. An article about our home/studio titled
"Alternative Spaces: turning your home into a gallery" was published
in Art Calendar Magazine Part 1 / Part 2.
