For more than 25 years, E. Denney NeVille of Byron, Wyoming, has been a professional artist. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with honors from the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, California. He spent several years in California as an illustrator of military hardware and an assistant animator. In 1970 he moved to Red Lodge, Montana, and worked with Stan Lynde on the nationally syndicated Rick O'Shay comic strip.
NeVille also writes and illustrates humorous stories, such as Testing the Legend of William F. Cody- a humorous mixture of truth and fiction about his grandfather's attempt as a young boy to sneak up on Colonel Cody and surprise him.
NeVille's paintings are in collections in the United States and Canada. He won "Best of Show" at the 1982 C.M. Russell Art Show and has had three paintings in the "Artists of America" calendar.
