BIOGRAPHY:
Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Earl Collins focused his painting career primarily on marine painting. From his childhood, which from age five was spent at the Hamptons on Long Island, he grew up surrounded by boats and became fascinated with seafaring subjects. He spent hours sketching busy harbor and other marine scenes, and at age 12, took a job on a commercial fishing boat. Earl Collins served for three years in the U.S. Army during World War II, and spent time in Europe. After the war, he returned to Europe, going to Paris as a student of Swiss artist Rudolph Eicher and learning Old Master techniques.
