For as long as he can remember, Mitch Caster has been drawing and painting -- capturing the essence of the good that is around him. While he paints a wide variety of subjects, one of his specialties over the years has been dance. In 1999 he was honored to have his paintings featured at Lincoln Center in New York City, in celebration of the New York City Ballet’s 50th Anniversary. He also paints Flamenco, Native American, Latino, and other dance forms.

Mitch also paints the human form in all walks of life; landscapes, cityscapes, and old buildings -- from the crumbling structures of Venice, to the adobe structures of the American southwest. To Mitch, the adobe structures “have a life of their own. It’s like painting skin.” Mitch’s fascination with people and historic subjects stems from his appreciation of the efforts of all cultures to pass on their uniqueness and history to new generations, and to other cultures, as well.
