Danville Chadbourne
Born in Bryan, Texas in 1949, Danville Chadbourne received his BFA in 1971 from Sam Houston State
University in Huntsville, Texas, and an MFA in 1973 from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas.
After teaching studio art and art history at college level for 17 years at various institutions, Chadbourne
quit in 1989 to devote himself full-time to his art.
He has exhibited extensively at both state and national levels, including more than 50 one-person
exhibitions. His work is included in numerous private and public collections.
Primarily a sculptor in clay and wood, Chadbourne works in a range of materials and in both two- and
three-dimensional formats. Over the years, he has created a complex body of work, unified by a primal
iconography and artifact-like quality emerging from a very personal and consistent formal, aesthetic
and philosophical sense. He has lived in San Antonio, Texas since 1979.
