About the Artist
Les Schrader was born in 1907 just south of Naperville, and he never wandered far. The house his family moved to on Webster Street a year after Les’ birth was just two doors down from the home he lived in at the time of his death in 1984.

Les was a self-taught artist. Throughout his life, he drew his favorite subjects - horses and Native Americans. By profession, he painted signs and created special furniture finishes for Naperville's world-known Kroehler Manufacturing Company. View more about Les Schrader.
