Estey taught himself to draw and paint before graduating from Crosby High School in Belfast in 1960 and went on to study at the Rhode Island school of Design. He also studied for a year in Rome, illustrated for the army, and managed public affairs for the IRS. He lived, worked, taught and exhibited in the Mid-Atlantic States and North Carolina, then returned to Belfast in 2002. His work is in many in collections in the US and around the world. This 48-piece exhibit showcases his development from local portraits and landscapes to total abstractions.
