Artist Biography:
Born and raised in Golinda, TX, Buford moved to Houston in 1955 after serving in the Air Force in the early 1950s. While he had a rough start he became a pupil of fellow Houston artist Ralph Dickerman who helped him move beyond objective realism and express his own personal feelings.
