By Gordy Callison.

Those familiar with Baltimore County history may have seen the work of Gordy Callison, an artist known for detailed pen and ink drawings of mills, historical towns and buildings. Callison was best known for his exquisitely detailed pen and ink bird’s eye views of mill towns showing them as looked when they were thriving communities.
The most notable of these were the towns of Warren, Rockland, Ruxton and the Jones Falls Valley. Callison also did many individual drawings of historic mills and houses in the Baltimore County area.
Gordy Callison was born in Bisbee Arizona and lived in various parts of the United States, including Florida, Pennsylvania and later New York. Although Callison drew cars and planes as a child, and always had an interest in being a professional artist, he was encouraged by his father to find a practical trade. So, Gordon made his living as a wood worker and tool and die machinist. After he suffered an injury at a plant in Cock- eysville, he took up drawing historical mills along the back roads of Maryland during his long recuperation. He conducted detailed research for his subjects, photographing the sites, consulting documents and talking to Baltimore County historians like John McGrain and Richard Parsons. He was a largely self-taught artist, although he did take some classes at the Corcoran School of Art. The drawings suggest that he sometimes started with pen and ink sketches of his subject from various angles before moving on to more detailed drawings. He started a business, called Gordy's Mills, which later became Historical Creations, and began selling his work and accepting commissions. Callison died in May of 2013 at the age of 75 and his spouse of 51 years was Sandra Callison.
