Objects are viewed from several sides at once; perspective changes within the image; the eye is led to perceive several and different realities simultaneously. All is motion; all is change; nothing is as it appears."Winston Sturgen was born and raised in Pennsylvania, and is of Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry. He pursued college studies at Penn State University, the University of New Hampshire, and the University of Oregon which led to degrees in forest management and economics, with doctoral work in business administration.

Since 1985, he devoted his full energies to exploring his personal vision through painting, printmaking, photography, and collage.
