Casey CHILDS ✿

Casey Childs receiving First Honors in the Portrait Society of America’s 2011 International Portrait Competition as well as a Certificate of Excellence the previous year, Casey has received international notoriety and recognition for his work. Born in Powell, WY, Casey had a passion for creating art from an early age. But it wasn’t until he attended Northwest College and studied with John Giarrizzo that he gained a strong desire to be a painter. After Northwest, he continued his education at Brigham Young University in Provo, UT where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree. And after a ten-year stint as a graphic designer, more training followed with an apprenticeship alongside renowned portrait painter William Whitaker. Casey now paints full-time in his north-lit studio designed after those of the old masters. Casey and his wife, Amanda along with their sons Evan, Owen, and Cameron, currently live in Utah.
