Ward is exhibiting selected works from 2003-2025 at The Fourth Wall, in Oakland, California. The artists gave up painting at the age of 22 when the Nebraska Governor called his work “pornographic.” At 35, he began illustrating and for the next 30 years worked for (among many) The New York Times, Süddeutsche Zeitung, The Washington Post and Le Figaro; The New Yorker, Poetry and Esquire Japan; Hermès, United Airlines and Herman Miller. Schumaker returned to painting at age 58 and has had over 30 solo exhibitions.
