Duwain Herring
Duwain is a former U.S. Navy boatswain’s mate and salvage diver.
He attended the School of Allied Arts in Glendale, California, on the G.I. Bill to study 
commercial art. When the Korean War started he was recalled to active duty and assigned
to harbor defense in Japan, which was still under U.S. occupation.
In 1955 he was released from active duty and remained in Japan where he
went to work for the Tokyo office of a major American advertising agency
as an account executive and art director.
Duwain returned to the States in 1961 and went to work at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in
Pasadena, California as a technical writer/illustrator until 1971, attending Southwestern
University law school at night. During this period, a friend of Duwain’s ask him to paint 
a picture of a World War I fighter plane, which he did. One thing led to another and soon
Duwain was in the business of producing fine art limited edition aviation lithographs, which
soon lead to marine illustration.
Duwain now resides in Arroyo Grande, California, near Moro Bay and is now offering original
marine art and lithographic and computer generated prints of historical ships and aircraft.
Duwain’s original work and prints have been shown in galleries in Morro Bay, Pasadena, and Laguna
Beach, and will now be available on-line.
