"Captures the natural world while reflecting his own
love and respect for the land and creatures around him"

  Born and raised on a farm in southwest Georgia, Allen was privileged to spend most of his free time roaming the woods and fields surrounding his home. Allen's love for wildlife was imbedded early by his father who was an avid outdoorsman, and his artistic ability was quick to surface when he would draw pictures of the animals his father would bring home from hunting excursions. Recognizing his interest and talent, his parents began encouraging and supporting his ability in grade school.  

   Although he has had no formal training, Allen has sought opportunities to advance and polish his natural abilities, participating in study workshops under John Seery-Lester, Allan Hunt and Paco Young.

   Recent honors include the 1996 Tennessee Ducks Unlimited State Sponsor Print and the 1997 Georgia Wildlife Management Area Stamp.

   Shown below are 4 original paintings by Allen. All are available exclusively from Albany Frameworks and are sold framed with linen liners. To see a full screen image of an image, click on the image.
