Schirmer was born in Chester, Illinois in 1929 and spent
his early years growing up on a small farm. Although he showed signs
of having artistic talent a the early age of five, he did not take
his are seriously until he was about thirty years old.
In 1949 he left southern Illinois and served three and a half
years in the Air Force during the Korean War. In 1954 he married
Carrel Davis form southeast Missouri and they have three
children..... Kathi, Kristi and Paul D..
Paul’s talents range from Acrylic painting to pen and ink
drawings. His education is in mechanical drafting and considers
himself a self-taught artist, who has had a limited amount of art
training form private art instructors while living in Texas. He
was active in the Texas Fine Arts Association and has won many
awards in competitive exhibits in
Texas
and
Southern Illinois
.
For 29 years Paul was employed as a draftsman and company artist
for Shell Oil Company of
Midland
Texas
. and also for Consolidation Coal Company in Pinckneyville,
Illinois. In May 1985 he took early retirement form Consolidation
Coal Company to devote full time to his art work.
Working as a draftsman has helped him develop a very fresh
and unique style of pen and ink drawings. This style also shows in
his acrylic paintings. His paintings and pen and in drawings of
old covered bridges, forgotten landmarks and old homesteads of the
Midwest heartland are now in private collections.
