Artist Yehia Sadek

I have found that my favorite painting subjects typically are

seascapes, beaches, sailboats and cloudy skies because they remind
me so much of Alexandria, Egypt where I was born in 1939.
As a child I began my love for art with much encouragement from my
father who always supplied me with drawing materials. When I was in
high school my father continued his support by upgrading my
supplies from simple pencils for sketching to colored pencils,watercolor,

and oilpaintings.
I took some time off from painting while I attended college at
Cairo University, where I instead devoted my free time to the
campus swimming and rowing teams .
After graduating from CU I worked for about 6 years as an
accountant before moving to the United States in 1969. I began
studies of the English language in San Francisco and then regained
my interest in painting and enrolled in art courses.
I threw myself into painting again and really began studying the
masters while gaining more interest in painting with watercolors. I
enjoy painting with watercolors because of the ease and beauty of
the medium. Of course I also use oils and acrylics.

I am also learning computer graphics.
I enjoy seeing and visiting all of the wonderful cities of the
World. currently reside in a small town on the New Jersey shore,painting a
lot of the landscapes and architecture of the area.
