Artist Statement:
Called the "Norman Rockwell
of Sports Artists", some of
Neal’s original works of art
hang in the homes of Frank
Sinatra, Red Sox Hall of Famer
Ted Williams, and legendary
golfer Jack Nicklaus. A former
baseball player, and current
college pitching coach, Neal’s
love and knowledge of sports
personifies his subjects with
his unique ability to capture
the realism in his
illustrations.
The Children' s Miracle
Network commissioned Neal to
create a multi-action portrait
of longtime Duke Basketball
Coach Mike Krzyzewski. Past
artists commissioned by the
Children’s Miracle Network
have included the world
renowned Leroy Nieman. The
sale of Neal' s Coach K
portrait will help fund a new
wing for the Duke Children's
Hospital.
Over the past decade, Neal
completed a series of drawings
being used in the Golden State
Warriors Hall of Fame, and
from 1992-1995, Neal was
commissioned by the Basketball
Hall of Fame to illustrate
their annual induction program
cover, as well as illustrate
the “Curt Gowdy Award,
presented annually to a print
and electronic media award
recipient. He has illustrated
over 700 programs and media
guides covers for a variety of
NCAA schools including
Michigan State, Virginia,
UMass, UCLA...
