| D.A. Bishop was born in rural Virginia and has lived in many places
along the Eastern Seaboard before settling in Sonoma County, California.
Bishop is primarily self-taught. He discovered, after a brief period
at the Atlanta School of Art, that life experience was more enticing than
a structured art education.
Thus began various careers as a billboard painter, a graphic artist for
a theatre company, and an intinerant limner.
Bishop has travelled extensively, visiting museums worldwide and has
always worked from the live model. He says
"I like simple, strong, shapes whether rendering architecture, landscape
or the human form." |
