Kessler utilizes his knowledge of structure, form, composition, color and spatial dimension in creating his artwork. Kessler has
spent his career in higher education where he has delivered design education at the graduate and undergraduate level. His
courses focused on teaching students how to “see” and envision the environment through drawing. For Kessler, the drawing
epitomizes the natural linkages between paper, fingers, arm, and mind. He is the recipient of teaching awards and invited
national and international presentations and lectures. Kessler is a graduate of the University of Southern California.
His work encompasses three themes:  1. Drawings of Silence   2. Drawings of the Mysterious  3. Drawings of Atmospheres
I believe the need for silence to be ubiquitous and that everyone has experienced times of great silence. This series seeks to
capture the ineffable qualities of silence where people can momentarily return to those experiences. Drawings of the
Mysterious, question perceptions and assumptions. These works propose other places, times and worlds, where dreams are
actualized. The Atmospheres series is inspired from topographies, sky, water and vegetation, where the intersection between
form, light, texture and material create unique phenomenal conditions.
