| Buckley Smith, a
native Southern Californian, has always had a passion for
boats. His marine and fantasy art reflect his early love
of wooden craft. At the age of eight he built his first
model with his father, and at nineteen he began selling
his pen and ink drawings of flying schooners and other sailing
vessels while living in Hawaii. At twenty-four he built
his own 32 ft. cutter, which he sailed half way around the
world, supporting himself with his fantasy and marine art.
Buckley Smith now resides on an
offshore island in beautiful Penobscot Bay, Maine.
