About the Artist

Nixon (Nick) Galloway, ASAA is an experienced professional who is well known for the broad scope of work he has produced for corporations and more recently, the prints and the paintings he has created for galleries and individual commissions. He has an extensive background in aviation and over fifty years experience as an artist.

For many of those years he worked as a freelance illustrator with clients such as Boeing, Hughes, NASA, Northrop, Allied Signal, American, Hawaiian, Continental and United Airlines. Two notable series that you may have seen were the UNITED AIRLINES COLLECTOR SERIES (42 paintings) and the WINGS OF AGRICULTURE calendars. (60 paintings on the history of crop-dusting). He has been President of the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles, and is a graduate of Art Center College of Design.

His paintings are held in many private collections and have been exhibited at the Air Force Museum, Smithsonian Air & Space Museum, Kennedy Space Center, EAA Museum, RAF Museum in London, and the White House. In 1999 he had a one-man show in Savannah with over fifty of his paintings on display, some done as long as forty years ago. Last year Mr. Galloway had a one-man show at the C.R. Smith Museum in Dallas. He is an Artist Fellow member and a past president of the American Society of Aviation Artists. When not working in his studio, he can often be found on the ski slopes, or racing his sailboat in Southern California waters.

Nick passed away on January 27, 2003 from cancer just two days after his 76th birthday. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
