ABOUT GEORGE LLOYD

  • I am an American painter and draftsman who has been a working artist for more than five decades . I spent the initial and formative phase of my artistic career in the 70s and early 80s in the San Francisco Bay Area. Nearly four decades ago , I returned to my native New England and have remained here ever since.
  • My work is included in both private and public collections both here and abroad.
  • Do note that this site is a work in process .The various portfolios are designed as windows onto different aspects of what has been a multifaceted artistic endeavor .
