Oleg Stavrowsky |
|
Born to Russian parents and raised in
Harlem, New York, Oleg Stavrowsky is a painter of western subjects and
now lives in Lago Vista, Texas, near Austin. Of himself, he says: "I
turned out to be a real country hick. I have no desire to live in the
city any more." His interest in western art began in high school
during World War II. After serving in the war, he became a technical
illustrator for McDonnell Aircraft in St. Louis. Then his career
expanded to fashion illustration and other types of commercial art,
but he became exasperated with art directors.
A visit to Oklahoma City and the Cowboy Hall of Fame changed his
life, and he gave up commercial art and went to Santa Fe, New Mexico
where he started western painting. In his first year, he was in an
exhibit at the Hall of Fame. Eventually he settled in Texas. |
