Casey Baugh was born to be an artist. Even at the early age of 4, Baugh had pencil in hand and was passionately advancing his skill with exercises provided by his Father and Aunt. This early exposure gave him the sturdy foundation needed to excel at a very early age.
Aside from winning the Cover Competition for American Artist Magazine and two television appearances, Baugh's reputation as a true artist of quality is a force growing with each painting as collectors from coast to coast eagerly invite his work into their homes.
Baugh attributes the majority of his knowledge to the teachings of Master Painter, Richard Schmid. Both Baugh and Schmid continue to work side by side as they explore the great depths of paint and its uses to create beauty. Baugh also absorbs the work of great painters such as Sargent, Zorn, Sorolla and a great host of others who have left their mark in the great world of art.
Despite his young age of 23, artists from around the world seek out Baugh's knowledge and inspiration through his ongoing workshops, classes and instructional material. Baugh's most recent DVD, "Sketching the Portrait", is being promoted by Richard Schmid and is used in colleges around the world as required viewing by students.
Baugh's work and passion for painting has never been stronger as he continues to paint and think outside the boundaries. Baugh, his wife Linlee and their daughter, Avaleigh, currently live outside of Boston where they enjoy the adventure and excitement of their journey through life.
