Ralph Baggett was a World War II veteran and prisoner of war in Guam, but even this did not dampen Baggett's artistic spirit, as he continued to paint up to the age of 85 when he passed away. He received art training during his two years of studies at the University of Texas before enlisting in the Marines at the start of the Second World War. Mr. Baggett won numerous awards in the course of his 75-year art career. His art continues to express his passion, love and life.
