Francis Edward Sweet |
Francis
Sweet was born in Watertown, New York, in 1938. Demonstrating an exceptional
artistic talent in his early years, he began his self initiated training
in art while still going to grade school. He began his efforts in oil,
and he still remains partial to that medium today. He has, however,
perfected the unforgiving art of scratchboard to the level of recognition,
by his peers, as the best in the field today. Images
of Fran's paintings and scratchboards have been reproduced in over fifty
periodicals nationally and in sixteen touring catalog exhibitions in
more than forty museums and wildlife venues in the United States. |
