Merrill Coffin's Quotes:
•"People like to hang on to our past, to what
their grandfathers had, to what their great-
grandfathers had... Antiquity is holding
people together"

•"I strive for total detail, I'm a stickler for
realism."

•"These paints allow me the latitude of detail
and opportunity to work without delays due
to drying time."

•"I enjoy the versatility of acrylics: wash
effects can be created and, in direct
contrast, infinite detail can be achieved.”

A collection of his sketches is in the works where all proceeds will be used for a scholarship fund in his name. Also there is a small quantity of prints that we will be selling on this site to help benefit the scholarship fund. Please join our newsletter so we can notify you on it’s availability.
