Biography

Mr. Webster was born on 12 May 1956 in Detroit Michigan. His father was a carpenter and the youngest of four. He was the creative one in the family and started working with at and color at a young age. He moved from pencil and crayon to watercolor while still in grade school.

He received many awards in his high school art classes. He graduated from the Cass Technical High School in Detroit with honors in art. In his continuing study of art, he specialized in portraits and advanced into the use of acrylics. Once his art had matured, his love of animation and vibrant color led him to apply at Disney in Los Angeles. Though the job at Disney didn't come through, the move to Los Angeles led his creativity elsewhere for a time.

But in 1992 he returned to the graphic arts in portaits and arcylic. But the biggest turn in his career was masked as a fateful tragedy. In January 1996 Mr. Webster was rushed to the emergency room after an accident. He had been announced clinically dead but was revived. After nearly two days of unconsiousness, Mr. Webster miraculously regained consciousness.

It was this accident, which left him partially deaf which turned him to see art (and life itself) as color and texture - representations of the divine. This was a time of spiritual awakening for him and a time of prolific work. Much of the art on this site is a product of that inner vision.

"Color is our after life; where we go; true love and happiness." says Mr. Webster "Before 12 January 1996 I never felt the love and happiness as I know now, but we must remember the most beautiful color we will ever find is within ourselves."
