About Donald Archer: 1945 Born Whittier, California
1967 BA w/ Honors, UCSB
1969 MFA in Painting, UCSB
Donald Archer grew up in Southern California during the 1940’s and 50’s—at that time, an area of many orchards, dairy farms and rich agricultural fields. The light and space of California, the monumentality of its landscape, has left an indelible mark on his work. Entering the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1963, Archer chose between a deep interest in both music and art, deciding to pursue a career in painting. After receiving his MFA in 1969, Archer taught for ten years, six of those as an instructor in fine art at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco. Articulating his ideas clarified his direction and led him to devote increasing attention and energy to his own work. In 1979, he resigned his faculty position in order to pursue painting full-time.
