Lee Herring

Metadata

Name	Herring, Lee
Occupation	Artist Painter Illustrator
Notes	Lee Herring was born in rural Rains County, Texas. As far back as anyone can remember, Herring was sketching and painting and looking at the world with an artist's eye, interpreting what he saw and saving it as art. As a child, he mimicked illustrations and cartoons from magazines and sketched the images captured in photographs. He constantly trained both his hand and eye, and this determination is evident today in his highly realistic paintings of historical and western significance. Herring has been featured in numerous art, education and consumer publications. After a successful stint as an illustrator, he devoted himself full-time in 1975 to producing epic paintings of the American West, Texas history and the traditional western scenes for which he has become so well known. As is evident in his work, Herring is committed to historical accuracy. He travels to the places he depicts and researches every component. Herring's paintings are starkly realistic, yet highly individual, traditional subjects molded by the artist's interpretation. He is at his best depicting the conflicts in life's conditions: Native American and western frontiersman, wild beasts and burdened domestic animals, placid waterfalls and roiling weather. The artist brings that period of history alive with his depiction of the American West's exuberance, the textures and essence of America's growth towards the west coast.
Role	Artist
Titles & Honors	The Texas Commission on the Arts named Lee Herring the Texas State Two-Dimensional Artist for 2007.
