I am a native of St. Louis an have a BFA from Washington University School of Art. I am an illustrator, painter and teacher creating illustrations and paintings for over forty years. My clients include many major corporations and companies throughout the United States. I recently created over fifty portraits of inductees into the Civil Rights Walk of Fame. These portraits were part of a traveling exhibit sponsored by Anheuser-Busch. Additional samples of my work can be viewed at studiodyess.com
