Darrell Sullens began his art career at the age of fifteen under Herman Keys in the 1950’s. His formal education started with evening classes at Whitworth College in Spokane. (Auditing classes while still in high school.) His formal education is in illustration achieved at Spokane Falls College. Darrell spent the late 1970’s and early 1980’s teaching drawing and painting at the Corbin Art Center.

 In 1979, Darrell and his wife purchased Ra-Tel’s Art Supply. Although the rate of paintings slowed during this time, the technical aspects and contacts gained, have proved to be invaluable. During this time, Darrell gave many lectures and art presentations at local colleges and universities. Nineteen years later in 1998 the business was sold and Darrell has been painting full time in his studio in Spokane WA.

Darrell exhibits locally, nationally and internationally.
