Born in Nebraska in 1930, Roy De Forest became a painter of work not easily categorized because of his independent approach to the profession. He has evolved through several styles from abstraction to funk to realism with subjects ranging from non-objective to realistic animals. His early work was comprised of larger, overlapping, amorphous shapes in bright colors with detailed patterns within. However, a consistent philosophy for his mature work has been irreverence for academic convention and a joy in being creative and finding his own way. From 1962 to 1982, De Forest was a professor of art at the University of California at Davis, and his colleagues included Wayne Thiebaud, Robert Arneson and William T. Wiley.
