Edit ProfileEducation
Myers studied at the Art Academy of Cincinnati through 1920.
Career
His work includes a variety of topics but is best known for his seascapes. In the 1930s his health began to falter, and he suffered bouts of depression. In 1940 he took a leave of absence, and visited Monterey, California.
He was captivated by the California coastal region, and stayed there for the rest of his life.
From that point on he produced, almost exclusively, seascapes of the Monterey Peninsula area. A well-respected leader of the Carmel -Monterey art community, he served as the President of the Carmel Art Association in 1953.
Together they defined the Monterey Peninsula art scene for years to come. Listings
