Ward George is a contemporary representational artist interested primarily in the female nude. Having made off with his mother's paint box at the age of nine, Mr. George received his training privately and, formally, at the University of Wisconsin. Although deeply influenced by modern art and its philosophies, he soon embarked on a deeper study of the whole of Western Art. As a result, he has built a foundation drawing from the depth of western tradition as well as more contemporary sources. Mr.George's work is public and private collections North America, Europe and Asia.
