Biography
W. A. Slaughter(1923 - 2003) Dallas / San Antonio Artist
William A. Slaughter was born in San
Antonio, Texas in 1923 and died in Dallas, Texas December 2003. His
first call was to the ministry and after serving in the Air Force during
WWII, he was ordained as a Lutheran pastor. This calling took him first
to Lubbock, Texas, Mexico, and finally Dallas. It was during this
ministry in Mexico that Mr. Slaughter began seriously to hear another
call.
Slaughter began painting and exhibiting at local art and craft shows
after moving to Dallas. His church members began buying his paintings
and before long he knew that he was going to have to make a life
changing decision between the
Ministry and art. Slaughter first belonged to and exhibited with the
Artists and Craftsmen's Association of Dallas. In 1968, he was awarded
first in landscape painting. In 1973, he was awarded first in still life
painting.
He was mostly self taught and combined innate ability and persistence to
create many Texas landscapes, seemingly everyone's favorite subject, in
realist style. He also did figure paintings, still life, wild life and
ethnic women and children.
