George Fuller (painter)
George Fuller was an American figure and portrait painter.
Fuller was born in Deerfield, Massachusetts. His father, Aaron Fuller, was a farmer. His mother was Aarons second wife, Fanny Negus of Petersham, Massachusetts. His parents were not in favor of Fuller becoming a painter. At age thirteen, he went to Boston, Massachusetts to work for a grocer, then tried selling shoes before giving up on this also and returning home. A year or so later, he went to Illinois with a survey team for the railroad, and continued working with the survey team for a couple of years. Fuller then returned home once again, entered Deerfield Academy, and began to paint in his spare time.
