Instructor
Roy Boswell
Born in 1985, Roy Boswell was raised on a family farm in southeastern Indiana. At an early age he took interest in art and architecture and went on to study landscape architecture and design at Purdue University. It wasn’t until after graduating that he took up fine art. Currently Roy paints in Oil and Acrylic, working in plein air, but also from field studies in the studio. Storytelling is a large part of his process, creating love filled letters about the Midwestern farm. He also works digitally doing illustration.
