George is a native of Kansas City, Missouri and now lives in Overland Park, Kansas. His father was an artist so George has been drawing and painting since early childhood. He began by learning from his father then continued taking art courses throughout elementary school, high school and college. He has continued his art education through individual study, advanced painting courses through Metropolitan Community College and by attending many demonstrations and workshops conducted by well known artists. George began showing and selling his artwork in galleries and many local art shows in 1979. He works in acrylic on canvas to create his original paintings. His lifelong interest in architecture usually dictates the choice of subject matter for his paintings along with the surrounding landscapes.
