German born Armin Mersmann knew from a very young age that he wanted to become an artist, and a lifetime of following that goal has produced the caliber of work that now defines him as one of the foremost graphite realists in the nation. After serving four years as a graphic artist in the Air Force, Mersmann went on to spend the next five years in various art schools both in the US and in Germany. Mersmann was represented by Portraits Chicago for high-end commission pieces but the artist eventually decided to pursue his own art instead of commission works. He now works out of his studio in Michigan and is busy creating and displaying his art both locally and nationally. He has received numerous awards, including being recognized as Artist Magazine's Top 100 Portrait Artists, and receiving the Alden B. Dow Museum of Science and Art, Excellence in Technique Award.
