Ted Watts

Ted Watts graduated from high school in Miami, Oklahoma.  He earned an Associate degree in Arts from Northeastern Oklahoma A&M and a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, Kansas.  He served in the Army National Guard (1966-1972) and was on active duty in the infantry (1966-67).      The majority of Ted Watt's art is sports oriented.  He calls himself a sports artist, an artist who applies a style of realism and minute detail to his works. 

Ted is noted for a wide range of extraordinary works including a series of Heisman Trophy winner paintings that are on display at the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Indiana.  In thirty-five years Watts has completed over 6,000 works of art -- over 5,000 with a sports theme.

      The ability to accurately capture the spirit of individuals is a talent as unique as that possessed by the subjects themselves.  Ted has painted many of the world's most inspirational and heroic sports legends--creating images that vividly portray their on-field glory while seizing the personal emotion and individual spirit that defines their legend.
