| John Ebersberger's dedication to keeping Impressionism alive has led him to Artist-in-Residence status at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts where he teaches drawing and painting. John Ebersberger's oil paintings are distinctive for the intensity of color and light as he portrays the changing atmospheric qualities in a landscape. He enjoys the late afternoon sunlight when the color harmonies are the most pronounced. His still lifes are equally strong, transferring the rich colors of nature onto the objects indoors. "Because I call myself an Impressionist some people think I am returning to a painting style of the past; instead, I am aligning myself with a state of mind, a way of seeing that finds the expression of truth to be timeless. These paintings are mirrors of who I am and how I feel about the world...... to communicate something of the beauty of nature, visually and emotionally, that is my primary aim." In February of 2002 Maryland Public Television (MPT) featured John painting snow-scapes on an annual painting trip with friends to Western Maryland. The segment aired on the “Outdoors Maryland” program, winning an Emmy Award, followed by an exhibition, “Shades of Winter” at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts.
