Born in Utah in 1913, artist Lee K. Parkinson was to spend most of his career traveling and painting scenes of the American West. With formal training in Los Angeles and at the Chicago Institute of Art, Parkinson began his career in commercial art working for Universal Studios. Primarily a watercolorist, painter Lee Parkinson found his fine arts training and beloved West calling him back by 1960. With the early influences of Utah artist LeConte Stewart still with him, artist Lee Parkinson committed himself to painting, pursuing oil techniques, and even developing a glazing medium for oil paint. Today there are many reproductions of Lee K. Parkinson landscapes for sale in books and cards, and original oils depicting Nevada, New Mexico, California, and Wyoming landscapes hang in galleries and private collections around the world.
