Creason
Clayton
(1927-2006)
Born in Mayfield, Kentucky, Creason Clayton showed a
precocious interest in artwork at a young age. He received
his formal training at the following Institutions:
University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
University, Nashville, Tennessee, and American Academy of
Art, Chicago, Illinois.
The Mediterranean inspires artist Creason Clayton, who
strives for "snob appeal" in his work. As haughty as that
sounds, what he wants to do is take the viewer to a romantic
place they've never been before. Clayton is known the world
over for his paintings because of his attention to detail,
such as shadows in the street or flowers in the window.
A touch of eccentricity in Clayton's personality adds to the
authenticity of his work. His love of art fuels his love of
travel. He believes traveling to be essential and values the
chance to paint a few watercolors while he is away. Clayton
notes that he wants to be remembered as a serious oil
painter. He's done that, so what's next for this skilled
artist?
Voted Best Visual Artist by Nashville Life Magazine in 1997
Creason was also named among the top 100 Contemporary
American artists by Art & Antiques Magazine. His work
resides in many private collections, galleries, and
businesses nationwide.
Creason passed away in August 2006 and is dearly missed. |
