Will Cooper

will20bust1Will Cooper is a conservative Christian cowboy who owns a 2,500 acre working cattle ranch and dabbles in oil paints at night. He's a seventh generation Texan. His grandfather, 7 generations ago, was one of a handful of men to escape the Goliad massacre. Will's ancestors came from England and Scotland to the new country and made their way to Texas. He was born on a working ranch to very good parents. He played football in college and after graduating he went to work in the oil fields of Odessa. There he met a wonderful girl, they married and she took him to church. He gave his heart to Christ. After a drunk driver killed his wife and unborn son, Will used the insurance money to purchase his south Texas ranch and has since carved out a living raising cattle. A friend suggested he learn to paint, so he went to Herwick’s Art Supply in San Antonio and asked someone to help him with what he needed. He has never been to an artist’s workshop or attended art classes. Will's belief is, if he put miles and miles on his brushes, eventually, he'll get to where he wants to go.
