\n“Nachreiner’s beguiling body of imagery, chock full of confidence and energy, has fluid compositions that are at once atmospherically pleasing and architecturally sound.”<\/p>\n
– James Auer, Milwaukee Journal Art Critic<\/strong><\/p>\n
“It’s unusual for an artist to be competent in both oil and watercolor. I like the fact that his paintings are real, but not photographic. They\u2019re more interpretive, making beautiful use of light.”<\/p>\n
– Katie Gingrassm, Waukesha Freeman<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
