George Shipperley has been a resident of
Aurora, Illinois since the 1950s, where he met and married Lois, his wife of
49 years. Together they raised three daughters and now have six
grandchildren.
As a young adult, George served in the U.S. Army and was stationed in
Germany. Upon leaving the service, he and his wife returned to Illinois
where he pursued a 33-year sales career with an international manufacturing
company. During this time, George and his wife opened Henrich Art Gallery
and Custom Frame Shop located in Aurora. The shop is still owned and
operated by his wife.
George retired from his sales career in 1994 and began to follow his passion
for art, which evolved into a fulfilling career. As an impressionist artist
with an emphasis on originality, creativity and color, George specialized in
pastel, acrylic, and oil stick mediums. His work can be viewed in the
Chicago
metropolitan and Fox Valley areas at fine art shows and throughout the year
at Henrich Art Gallery.
He is an art instructor, member of the Palette & Chisel Academy in Chicago,
and the first awarded
signature member of the Oil Pastel Society.
