He currently lives and works most of the year in the peaceful environment of his Country home. The rest of the year he travels throughout Europe; Italy in particular, to obtain new sources of inspiration. His affinity with Italy is the painters of the Renaissance, especially their frescos, tapestries and paintings. He received a degree in graphic design and started working under the name Woodard to produce more commercial artwork, as well as decorative art in the form of serigraphs and lithographs. He was eventually able to give up his commercial illustrations and return full time to his own painting and printmaking, which he produces under his family name, Fairchild.
