Bio

George is a retired US Army illustrator from Owosso Michigan. He now lives in the picturesque wine country of Niagara County New York in the harbor village of Wilson with his wife of 35 years. He is focused on children's publications created with mixed media as well as advertising and design clients.

George has been drawing since he could hold a pencil in his hand and graduated to Mixed Media as technology progressed. His unique style blends the aged wisdom of pen and paper with a water color wash. His is a style that charms both young and old. His creations tantalize the imagination and pull the reader into the page. When he is not drawing new creations he is spending time with his grandchildren which are according to him, "his greatest creation".
