Twery (1923 - 2007). Elliott Twery was born in Chicago and grew up in Washington, DC. He started painting and drawing at an early age, first interested in a career as an illustrator. In high school, his painting won him a scholarship to college from Scholastic magazine. He attended Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie-Mellon University) where he received his B.F.A. in 1946 after serving

in the army during World War II. After living in New York City for several years, Elliott attended the University of Iowa and received a Master of Fine Arts in painting in 1951. He then moved to New Orleans where he taught art at Sophie Newcomb College (at Tulane University) for five years before coming to Randolph-Macon Women’s College in Lynchburg, VA, in 1956, to begin a 32-year stint as a Professor of Art. He retired in 1988 and lived out the rest of his life painting in the Lynchburg area. Elliott Twery exhibited throughout the United States, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Virginia Museum of Fine Art in Richmond, and many University and commercial galleries. His work is found in numerous public, private, and corporate collections, and has been featured in Art In America magazine. He had over 70 exhibitions of his art in his lifetime. Twery also created commissions for the U.S. Army, the Louisiana Department of Public Welfare, and locally at the Agudath Shalom synagogue in Lynchburg. His favorite subject was cities. He painted city scenes of the daytime for the rhythms of the architecture, crowds and traffic, and at night for the neon colors and reflections on windows and faces. He also painted many portraits, still lifes, and landscapes, and identified with the traditions of the old masters.
