I paint a variety of subjects from People, Animals, Birds, Still Life, Landscapes and Scenes of Nature from my home in McHenry, Illinois. My paintings are done in realistic detail. I also do paintings from photos of pets, family or individual portraits.
I studied art at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, Illinois. After which I was employed by Nobart, Inc., a Catalog Art Studio, where I was promoted to Creative Director.
In 1970 I started my own company named Dunkley Studios, Inc., a graphic arts studio and advertising agency, located in downtown Chicago. During those years, my largest account was Sears, where we produced many graphic arts projects. When Sears became 100 years old, I had the honor of illustrating a montage drawing symbolizing their gigantic growth. This illustration was printed, hand signed and numbered and was sold as a commemorative piece to all of its managers, coast to coast. I was also commissioned to do sketch portraits on that print of retiring executives of Sears.
After retiring from my company, my wife, Geri, and I moved to the Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri and presently live in McHenry, Illinois.
In 2012, my paintings were accepted and published in the International Contemporary Artist Book, Vol IV.
