Originally from Traverse City, Mich., Justin Hayward (b. 1980) now lives in Casper, WY with his wife and French bulldog. Hayward studied Illustration at Brigham Young University and earned his MFA from the New York Academy in painting. He also finished a course at the Florence Academy of Art in Italy in 2005. Justin is a full-time professor of drawing and painting at Casper College.

Hayward’s art training started early and has been very diverse. “Throughout my academic career, I have studied at many schools and privately with many renowned artists who have taught me different techniques and presented new ideas, and my work is representative of this.” In addition, he has learned a tremendous amount by copying paintings and drawings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
It was while completing his MFA in New York that Hayward caught the attention of galleries, competitions, and clients throughout the U.S.
