Steve Ferguson
American 1946 -

Born and raised in Iowa, Steve Ferguson moved to Colorado, where he attended the University of Colorado. He began training as a medical illustrator, only to complete his formal studies in fine art and geology. After a few years in civil service as an urban planner and later as a petroleum industry cartographer, Ferguson became a freelance illustrator. A noted aviation artist, his first ventures in this area began during his brief Air National Guard service in Colorado. He was introduced to a broad spectrum of pilots and aviators who flew everything from homebuilts to space shuttles. Ferguson's paintings are displayed in private collections in the United States and abroad. His most extensive published works, however, are the technical drawings and illustrations for the World War II histories, Warpath Across the Pacific and Aces and Wingmen II.
