Dexter Griffin was born in Chicago and moved to California at the age of five. At about the same time he began to draw and play with colors, eventually becoming one of the best known and most respected artists in America. His ethnically rooted artwork has an elegance, depth, and perspective that come together to create a subtle three dimensional illusion of space on a two dimensional surface. His trademark rich textures and life-like skin tones are created by employing special techniques of oils and acrylic embellished with the airbrush. His art can be found in prestigious private and corporate collections throughout the world.
