About the Artist

P.Volker is a professional painter, illustrator, and sculptor originally from Ohio, now living in Snow Hill, MD where he has a storefront studio/gallery, the Green Pearl.  Over the last 50 years, Volker has created and sold more than 3,000 paintings to private collectors around the world. His paintings are colorful, the subject matter humorous, often poignant, and in a unique style that has been described as ‘cartoon expressionism’.
