What inspires your artwork?

My art is inspired by wild waters, fishing heritage, and Pennsylvania wildlife. I fished the Allegheny River with my dad, and my dad and grandfather fished Lake Erie’s Misery Bay together. With 35+ years of fly fishing, I bring patience, presence, and connection to every piece.

What subjects do you paint?

I create vibrant mixed-media paintings of fish, wildlife, and symbols from nature—trout, walleye, northern pike, deer, mushrooms, and birds of prey—blending bright color with storytelling about memory and transformation.

Are originals and prints available for purchase?

Yes. You can buy originals, open-edition prints, and notecard sets on my website. Listings include size, materials, and framing details. Free shipping is included within the lower 48 states.

Do you take commissions?

Yes—custom fishing and wildlife pieces that tell your personal story, such as a favorite fish, meaningful catch, or water-time memory.

How are your prints made and shipped?

Open-edition prints are professionally produced by a family-owned local print shop (60+ years in business) on quality, thicker paper. Each print is signed, rolled with protective paper, and shipped in a sturdy cardboard mailing tube for safe delivery.

Where can I see your art in person?

You can find HL Wirtner’s work at Transit Art Gallery & Gifts in Oil City, Pennsylvania, and at select regional art festivals and wildlife shows in northwestern Pennsylvania and northeastern Ohio. Upcoming events are listed on the site and social channels.

What’s the difference between an original and a print?

Originals are one-of-a-kind mixed-media works on wood panel or canvas. Prints are high-quality reproductions, signed by HL Wirtner, offering an affordable way to bring the same spirit, color, and story into your home.

What’s your philosophy as an artist?

HL Wirtner believes art should carry story and soul. Her work turns flat walls into living stories—reflecting who you are, sparking conversation, and bringing the calm energy of wild waters into your space.

Can I pick up my order locally?

Yes. At checkout you can choose pickup at the Oil City Gallery or the Foxburg Gallery—great for nearby collectors and safe handling.

How do I care for my artwork?

Keep prints and originals out of direct sunlight and away from high humidity. With proper care, your artwork will maintain its color and presence for years to come.

Are your artworks good gifts for anglers and women who fish?

Absolutely. HL Wirtner’s paintings and prints make unique gifts for anglers, fly-fishers, and outdoor enthusiasts—especially meaningful for women who fish or are beginning their own fly-fishing adventures.
