Stan BrineyStan Briney's penchant for creativity and detail is clearly shown in his work as a professional artist and in his recent works in freelance writing. This is his first novel. The author obtained Bachelor and Master of Science degrees from the State Unversity of Iowa followed later by his graduation from medical school. His medical specialty in Diagnostic Radiology provided him a long and distinguished professional career in both clinical and academic medicine. Since early childhood and without formal art training, his natural born talent in art has earned him recognition and honors. Following his retirement from medicine in 1995, he has developed a very successful second career as an award-winning professional artist. His realistic bronze sculptures and illustrations can be found in private art collections, homes, offices and schools within the United States. Briney and his wife reside in the cattle ranching country of north central Texas where he has a small art studio and gallery in their country home. The Briney's have three children, five grown grandchildren, and two great grandchildren. Read More Read Less
