Maury Lapp was born in Chicago in 1925 and received both his Bachelor's and Masters of Fine Arts from the Art Institute of Chicago.

After studies abroad, he settled in Santa Rosa, teaching art at Santa Rosa Junior College until his retirement in 1991. Yet in retirement, he continued teaching part-time and remained disciplined, painting every day.
