Chet and Phyllis were married in 1949 and have three children and five grandchildren. They have worked and traveled, living in beautiful places such as Carmel, California - Santa Fe, New Mexico - Tucson, Arizona. They had their own Art Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico on Canyon Road and also in Tucson, Arizona. Chet enjoyed painting with many of the local artists in Arizona, New Mexico and California. He has always been fascinated by the Grand Canyon and was able to paint on location while living in Sedona, Arizona.
Chet has been involved with art since 1935, when at the age of five he drew a horse for a blanket his mother was quilting. He has studied and painted with many fine artists over the years such as Earl Daniels, Bennett Bradbury, Ralph Love, Irby Brown, Ray Vanella and many more. He started sculpting after watching his friends, Joe Beeler, Ken Payne and Dan Bates. Chet has many fine bronze sculptures, some of which you will see on eBay.
