Born in Kansas City, Missouri and raised in Independence, Missouri. I studied art in high school and college where I was blessed to win numerous art awards and ribbons. In Missouri I studied under the late artist Andrew Thoman.

After one year of college I migrated to Southern California and studied under California artist Bert Carter. I entered many art shows where I continued to win ribbons for my work.

Corporate world absorbed me in 1972 but I continued painting. In 2007, after firing the corporate world, I moved to Treasure Island, Florida where Florida’s west coast now seem to influence my paintings. In 2013  moved to the Siesta Key – Sarasota area and close to my son, daughter in law and granddaughter, where they have invigorated me to continue capturing God’s palette.

My oil paintings hang in hundreds upon hundreds of private collections throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Slovakia, New Zealand, and Switzerland.

In 2013 I created https://DobsonVideoMarketingAgency.com to help me as well as other artist and entrepreneurs generate more business. I also began writing eBooks and Paperback books that are on Amazon. https://LloydDobsonAuthor.com

May your day and years be filled with joy and positivity, just like the beauty of the Siesta Key Beach. Let this attitude shine through in all that you do!
