His family moved often during his youth and he was raised in New York, Idaho, Michigan and Illinois. In his early twenties, Gollings lived in South Dakota and Nebraska, working as a sheepherder and cowboy. He initially learned to paint through mail-order artist kits and eventually won a scholarship to attend the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. In the early 1900s Gollings moved to Sheridan, Wyoming and set up an art studio, where he pursued a career as a Western artist. Though successful, he continued to supplement his income punching cattle and breaking horses. He learned the etching technique from local Wyoming artist Hans Kleiber (1887-1967). [1,500/2,500] 115
