ARTIST BIO:

Souders was born in Chickasha, Oklahoma.

Hoping to become an illustrator he attended Trimble Technical High School in Fort Worth where he received daily instruction in commercial art He attended the University of Texas at Arlington where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in graphic design.

On August 5, 1972, three months before his 18th birthday, Souders dove into a local lake and hit a submerged object. He broke his neck and sustained a paralyzing spinal cord injury resulting in incomplete tetraplegia. He adapted and gradually regained enough function to write, paint and live independently.

His drawing hand is paralyzed so his artworks are created entirely with wrist and arm movement.

Upon graduating college in May 1978, Souders was employed for a short time at a local advertising agency. He had his first one-man show of paintings on November 8, 1978.

Based on the success of this first show, he left advertising to concentrate on painting full-time.

Since 1990 Souders has created artworks for the Walt Disney Company. Souders involvement with Disney originally began through his exhibits at the former "Old World Antiques" shop in Liberty Square at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.
