Biography

Biography

Painter, illustrator, and writer, Ned Gannon attended the Kansas City Art Institute and the School of Visual Arts in New York where he received his M.F.A. He lived and worked on the North Shore of Staten Island in New York City for seven years before moving to Wisconsin.

His work has appeared in New York galleries, the Society of Illustrators of New York and Los Angeles, and in Communication Arts. Clients Gannon has worked for include among others, American Airlines, Sierra Club Colorado, and Cricket Magazine. His work is in private collections in Australia and the United States, including the Staten Island Museum. Work by Gannon has also appeared in advertising and small film productions. 

When not involved in academic efforts, he might be stumbled upon in a park with his dog Gwenforte, lost in the woods, or making art. He also loves music, reading all kinds of subjects and literary forms, and any book beautifully illustrated.
