It all started when a beautiful blonde . . I was 10 and she was 13! She asked if I could draw her a picture of a giraffe, and I said: "SURE" And I guess I never looked back! - Doc Muzzy | About Us and Price list (scroll down) Dennis Edward Muzzy Birth Date: 1940
Introduction:
Dennis Edward Muzzy was born in Marshalltown Iowa. He was brought up in an artistic atmosphere with a father who illustrated all his stories with drawings and a mother who painted ceramic figurines. He has lived in Ontario Canada where he completed studies at the Woodstock Collegiate Institute. After graduation from the Palmer College of Chiropractic he moved to Kentucky and entertained artistic endeavors in the custom framing business. Studying art under various instructors and close examination of the old masters work, he found portraiture to be the avenue to allow his creative venue.
