Since 1979, a major focus of his work has been the integration of the human figure into the natural landscape, most often with horses as the link unifying the image. Atmosphere, design, and relationships between people and their horses are some of the important elements in his paintings, captured in scenes from Palm Beach polo to Irish hunts; from Maryland timber races to racing at Saratoga.
Wheeler's commissioned work continues to be in demand. His portraits hang in the State House in Annapolis, Johns Hopkins Hospital, the Supreme Court Building in Washington, D.C., the Federal Building in Baltimore, and in many private collections across the country.
Mr. Wheeler will have several pieces available for purchase. A portion of the sales proceeds will be donated to the Hall of Fame.
