Biographical Sketch
Dargan Long, southern artist, grew up in southwest Georgia. As a young boy, he spent much of his time on his granparent's farm near Bainbridge. His grandmother, a watercolor artist, introduced him to painting at an early age. She instilled in him a love for art and a desire to paint.
After many years of farming, he was finally able to pursue a career in art. He is mainly a self-taught artist, but has studed with many talented artists at the Art Student's League of New York City.
He has attended painting classes taught by Frank Mason, Jack Faragasso, and George Passintino. He also attended additional workshops taught by Daniel E. Greene, Ray Vinella, and David Leffel.
Although his passion is for portrait painting, his works also include landscapes, wildlife, and still life paintings in oil and watercolor. Dargan and his wife, Kelly, reside in Bainbridge, Georgia with their four children.
