Paul Haggard earned his B.F.A. from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1992. A native of Elgin, Illinois—a proud blue-collar town—he discovered his passion for painting and drawing at the age of nine. He later refined his skills in Ghent, Belgium, under the mentorship of Dutch painter Raoul Van Den Heede. His palette is deeply influenced by Chicago painters Ed Paschke and Roger Brown, as well as his travels in Mexico. Throughout his career, he has completed numerous commissions, including a mural for Chicago art collector Eric Lefkofsky. Now at 60, Haggard continues to create from his Atlanta, Georgia, studio, drawing on decades of experience and an unwavering dedication to his craft.
