The Clarkston artist uses watercolor and ink to achieve a “whimsical and quirky spirit” in his work, while employing “a meticulous approach using high saturation paints and top-grade cotton paper to capture real-life and not-so-real-life domiciles, landscapes and current events,” according to a Valley Art Center news release.

Drawing has always been a part of Tietz’s life, according to the news release, beginning before kindergarten and continuing to his high school years in art classes with his favorite art teacher, Craig Whitcomb.
