Charles Strong, who was born in Greeley, Colorado on Christmas Day in 1938, was one of the youngest artists of the San Francisco School of Abstract Expressionism. He was a colleague of vanguard artists such as Elmer Bischoff, Richard Diebenkorn, Jack Jefferson, Nathan Oliveira, and Frank Lobdell.
In 1959, he enrolled at the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco. His work was greatly influenced by Clyfford Still, whom he met while Still was teaching as a guest instructor at the University of Colorado in 1960.
In the late 1960s, Strong taught at San Francisco State University. In 1970, he joined the faculty of the College of Notre Dame in Belmont, CA, where he founded the Wiegand Gallery and curated exhibitions until the 1990s. He was a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship in 1982.
By 1989, he had returned to Ranchos de Taos, NM - an area he visited frequently with his family growing up. He was actively involved in the Taos art community until his death in 2013.
Strong’s work has been widely exhibited, particularly in the American west, and is held in numerous public and private collections throughout the United States.

- Yellow Tail IBy Sherron FrancisLocated in Austin, TXAcrylic and mixed media on canvas. Signed, titled, and dated verso. 40 x 76.5 in. 41.75 x 78.25 in. (framed) Custom framed in a solid, unfinished maple floater. Provenance Watson/de Nagy & Company, Houston Private Collection, New York Sherron Francis was born in 1940, in Downers Grove, IL outside of Chicago. She originally enrolled at the University of Oklahoma, but later transferred to the Kansas City Art Institute to focus more on art. Initially, Francis' practice was focused on figurative art, with visiting professor and renowned modern realist Philip Pearlstein remarking on Francis’ draftsman acumen. In the early 1960s, art dealers and gallerists from New York would visit the Institute to entice promising artists by offering scholarships and financial aid. Because such financial arrangements were only made for men, Francis had to persuade the school's leadership to allow for women to also be eligible for merit-based aid. Her advocacy was successful, and she ultimately graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1963. She would then proceed to obtain her MFA from the University of Indiana, before assuming a teaching position at Eastern Michigan University. In 1968, with only $300 on hand, Francis moved to 16 Waverly Place in SoHo, New York. The neighborhood was a hotbed for young AbEx artists of the day, and she quickly befriended the likes of Peter Reginato, Walter Darby Bannard, Michael Steiner, Peter Young, Peter Bradley...Category
