Don Durborow
Don Durborow sold his first commissioned painting when
he was a high school student and has been selling his work ever since. “I was
interested in art very early,” he says. “In high school,
I entered quite a few state contests and did the cover of the state
athletic magazine. I won my first bike with my art and got a painting
commission when I was in high school. More »

Durborow, who grew up in Illinois, attended Washington University in St. Louis,
Missouri, on a four-year school scholarship, and then enlisted in the Air Force
during World War II. Following his discharge he married and eventually moved
to California where he worked for North American Aviation in publishing management
for 20 years.
“Four or five years before I retired, I started
painting again so I’d
have something to do,” Durborow says. “I started going to art show
to see what was being painted, and one of the artist recommended that I join
an art club.
Durborow began doing still life painting in pastels. “I want to get the
feeling of the Old Masters with the dark backgrounds,” he says. “It’s
a challenge. Not many pastelists do it in the style I do. I want to be different.”
When he isn’t painting outdoors, Durborow is working in his home studio
in Fullerton, California. A member of the California Art Club and the San Gabriel
Fine Arts Association, he has won several awards for his work, including one
last fall from the Pastel Society of America.
Although Durborow loves painting in California, he also
enjoys traveling and painting what he sees along the way. He’s traveled to China, and Europe.
Durborow was honored recently, when he received signature member status with
the Pastel Society of America.
