Welcome, my name is Larry Casper. I am an artist living in Naperville, Illinois with my wife, Trish and my son, Brian. I displayed a knack for drawing at an early age. I remember on my kindergarten report card the teacher noted that I enjoyed doing artwork. Beyond taking required art classes in school, I have received no further art instruction, so for the most part I am a self-taught artist. My father also possessed some artistic ability. In my father’s high school yearbook, I read that his goal was to become the next Walt Disney. Of course, that never happened. My father and I both fell prey to the starving artist stereotype and never pursued an artistic career. Persuaded by the starving artist stereotype and the advice of others, I entered the more financially secure business world. Over the years, I continued to sketch and draw and occasionally sell my artwork. I have also begun to accept commissions. Now that I am approaching my retirement, I wish to devote my time and energy to an artistic career and sell some of the work I have done over the years.
