Artist Biography: James Woodard Woodruff was born in 1913 in south Texas and grew up there on a ranch and farm. He rode a horse to school. In 1932 he graduated from Karnes City High School. In 1938 or 1939 he earned a degree in chemistry and math from North Texas State University in Denton.
From 1940 to 1942 he was a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force as a pilot and flight instructor. From 1942 to 1946 he was a Captain in the U.S. Marines, serving as an engineering officer for a fighter squadron; in the Solomon Islands he was an aerial photographer.
In 1949 he earned a Masters degree in Painting and Fine Arts from Columbia University, and he spent 1950 at the Art Students League, New York. He then returned to Texas and taught art in Beaumont, Pasadena, Galveston, and Houston. From 1952 to 1958 he taught art at the University of Houston; and from 1959 to 1981 he taught art at South Texas Junior College which became the University of Houston Downtown, a full-blown college.
