Tom Uttech

Born in Merrill, Wisconsin, Uttech received a BA from Layton School of Art in Milwaukee in 1965 and an MFA from the University of Cincinnati in 1976.

[citation needed] After completing his studies, Uttech was a professor of art at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee until 1998.

[citation needed] Uttech is known for his moody depictions of North American woodlands and animals that inhabit them.

[3][4] Uttech's painting Neiab Nin Nasikodadimin, Bejigwan (Chippewa for "we reunite") in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art is typical of the artist's moody, but slightly stylized, landscapes.

Museums in Georgia, Arkansas, Hawaii, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Arizona hold works by Uttech.
