Born in Jerome, territory of Arizona, Lew Davis has a name associated
with the copper mining landscapes of his hometown, and he is referred
to as the Dean of Arizona Artists.
As a youngster, he was a
frustration to his teachers because he continually drew in notebooks
and paid little attention to lessons. He saw illustrations of
Norman Rockwell and decided he wanted to do work like him. At age
17, Davis traveled to New York and worked as a sign painter and
messenger boy (showing 500 of 5148 characters). |
