Stephan Heimlich-Martin is a realist oil painter. He completed a mentorship with master oil painter Mark Carder in 2021 and since then maintains the practice of the

medium. The focus of his work is on improving technique. Proper technique can portray any subject if it is adequately studied and practiced.

He grew up in Alberta and is influenced by many genres of realism within the movement overall, including Western art and Dutch realism. His preferred subjects to paint are

livestock, landscapes, and food still lifes.
