        Loren Began drawing when he was six years old. Starting with crayons he quickly developed a love for art. He had the opportunity to draw from nature while growing up on an 80-acre farm in Utah.

          At 17 Loren enlisted in the Army to serve as the Illustrator for the 19th. Special Forces, the Green Berets. This path led him around the world packing a M-16 machine gun. During his enlistment he completed numerous murals depicting military history and was commissioned to paint each succeeding commander and other ranking military officials.

          After six years in the service, Loren moved to Henderson, Nevada. He began an apprenticeship with his father, renowned artist Roy Purcell. Loren began accepting commissions from well-known clientele in the area and crated artwork for casinos such as Sam's Town, Palace Station and the Las Vegas Hilton.

          Loren's most recent endeavor is working with a Nevada publishing company, KC Publications, creating a series of illustrated children's books and coloring books and calendars about the legacy of America's National Parks.
