After service in the US Navy during WW II, Shields studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Major book and periodical publishers were clients for his award-winning illustrations. However, after travels in Mexico and France, the artist chose to explore various fine arts. He eventually became recognized for his large abstract oil paintings, which were exhibited in New York, San Francisco, and Connecticut galleries. He also was engaged as a professor of art at the California College of Arts and Crafts (currently California College of the Arts in San Francisco), and the San Francisco Art Institute. See less
