Larry Waggoner
An artist, photographer, and naturalist, Larry has wandered through 26 countries - sketchbook, cameras, and field watercolors in hand. His reference materials bring nature and life to the canvas. He loves plein air painting and photography. It is not unusual to see him with four cameras around his neck.
Larry is living in and painting the wilds of New Mexico, where a year-round love affair with nature is aided by changing weather, beautiful cloud formations, spectacular sunsets, magnificent boulders, and rugged terrain. New Mexico is truly an enchanting place for an artist to live. Larry paints oil on canvas and, occasionally, a watercolor on paper. His primary subjects are landscape and wildlife.
He has been inspired and motivated by artists Bruno Liljefors, Nicolai Fechin, Richard Schmid, and Robert Bateman. He has studied with Robert Bateman, John Seerey-Lester, James Shaffeling and Mike Allen. Larry received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Redlands.
Larry Waggoner was selected for Arts for the Parks “Top 100” in 1991, and the October West Show 1993 and 1995. His work has been shown in the following museums and galleries: Glibb Museum of Art, Charleston, SC, Elle Carothers Dunnegan Gallery, Bolivar, MO, Chamizal National Memorial, El Paso TX, San Bernardino County Museum, San Bernardino, CA, Prestige Gallery, Mississauga, Ontario Canada.
