Artist Bio:

Samuel Shelton is an oil painter whose work is reminiscent of the Baroque Masters of yesteryear. He places a high emphasis on the beauty of the human form and the drama of storytelling in his paintings. His work and methods truly stand out as a beacon of classical mastery. He studied painting from the Academy of Art University and from Gold Light Atelier, but much of his study comes from visits to Museums and literature on the techniques and practices of the Old Masters. He currently lives in Meridian TX with my wife and four children. His paintings are on display at the Private Collection Gallery in Granbury TX, Calypso Gallery in Abilene TX, Asylum Salon in Waco TX, and At Hello Salon in Austin TX.
