Based on years of observation of the natural world, George Shipperley merges memories of nature with his imagination to create a vision all his own.
The artist applies multiple layers of oil pastel and a sgraffito technique to each piece, creating an expert sense of poetry throughout the composition. The finished works reveal the immediacy of abstract expressionism with a solid ground of realism.
A native of Illinois, Shipperley studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and Aurora University. His works are in public and private collections throughout the United States.
