Portrait artist extraordinaire! Carver Shivers hails from Houston, TX and has most certainly made his mark there with his extraordinary artistic talent. He focuses on Portraits and you can easily see why.

His portraits capture these childrens' childhood innocence as well as their unfettered outlook on life. His paintings are so realistic it is amazing.
Carver started painting at an early age, being taught by his father, Clarence Shivers; a Tuskegee Airman and renowned Artist. After attending the U.S. Air Force Academy and flying in the Air Force, Carver continued to hone his skills as an artist while working as an aerospace engineer for NASA. He decided to concentrate on realistic Formal portraits, with his use of Chiaroscuro lighting being his favorite technique. Carver has always been inspired by Master Painters such as William Bouguereau, Philip A. De Laszlo, Anders Zorn, John Singer Sargent, and David Lefell.
