About the Artist

(Born 1934, American)  "In 1975 Wayne Ensrud was invited to be the first American painter to exhibit at the French Institute Gallery, N.YC., where he exhibited watercolors of the Bordeaux chateaux and wineyards. His prominence in the wine world led to his designing wine menus and posters for some of New York's finest French restaurants, including Lutece, Chez Pascal and Residence.

Wayne Ensrud was born in Minnesota where he received his BFA from the Minneapolis Institute of Art. As a student he met Oskar Kokoschka, the artist-in-residence at the Institute, who profoundly influenced Ensrud's work.

Mr. Ensrud has been a free-lance art director and animator for ABC, CBS, and IRM.  IBM contracted him to create the series, "Computer and the Mind of Man", which has been translated into 18 languages and won several international awards. For ABC he created the film animations for the Gemini Space Programs. He taught film animation at Pratt Institute for tour years. Ensrud was Art Director at the University of California at Berkeley for the Department of Motion Pictures and Television and he was Executive Art Director of Channel 13-TV, New York City. Mr. Ensrud has art directed over 30 films. He has illustrated the writings of Odgen Nash, John O'Hara, and John Fowles for Holiday magazine and also produced illustrations for other magazines such as Venture, Vintage and Gourmet.

 Ensrud's paintings are distinguished by his luminous use of color and intensity. He's had over 60 exhibitions in the United States, Japan, Mexico and in Europe." taken from AskArt.com
