Bill Anton

After seeing the American West for the first time as a seven-year-old, Bill Anton vowed to return for good someday. He left his home in the Midwest some 12 years later and the Arizona high country has been home ever since. Exposed to art early and often, Anton drew constantly from the time he was old enough to hold a pencil. Inevitably, his two great loves in life united when he turned to western art full-time in 1982. Later, after committing to painting full-time, he studied under Michael Lynch and Ned Jacob, who encouraged him to paint from life.

Bill says, “I do not see myself as a biographer of the cowboy. I know some artists feel they are recording a historical portrayal of ranch life today in the American West, but the focus of my work has always been mood and passion. If I’m recording anything, I’m recording how I feel about the West. I want the viewer to feel the drama of atmosphere and the mystery of a western night. I want the volume and portent of a cloud to be evident in the in the calligraphy of a brush stroke.”

Bill is a member of the Prix de West in Oklahoma City since 1999. He has won numerous awards at the Autry Museum, Prix de West. He is in the permanent collections of the Gilcrease Museum, The Old West Museum, Sears, Dupont, State Farm Insurance, Bank of America, Hewlett Packard, Trust Company of the West and Spirit of the West Museum, Scottsdale, AZ.

Carrie Ballantyne

“It has been very rewarding to portray people in my artwork that I admire and respect. I’ve been very fortunate to live in a time and place that has allowed me the opportunity to pursue this Godgiven interest.”

Best known for her western portraits, Carrie (Fogwell) Ballantyne grew up in southern California and began drawing as a child. Art was always a passion for Carrie, but never pursued as a profession. In her late teens, she moved to Wyoming to work on a dude ranch and for big game outfitters. It was during this time that she began to realize art as a profession was a real possibility. In 1981, Ballantyne entered her first juried art show, won first place in drawing, and never looked back.

For many decades now, Carrie has been portraying the people around her in the western lifestyle she loves—young and old, male and female. She works in several mediums: graphite pencil, colored pencil, conte, charcoal, and oil paint. “I strive to paint souls, not just faces.“

Ballantyne’s work has been featured in numerous periodicals, art shows, and museums. She is the fortunate recipient of many awards as well as museum acquisitions. She has been in the Prix de West Show in Oklahoma for 24 years.

It’s the individual art collectors that she most values – “The ever-encouraging, supportive, and generous art collectors have graciously allowed me to pursue my life’s work, and for that, I am forever thankful.” – Carrie Ballantyne

Greg Beecham

After a forty-five year career of painting wildlife art, Greg Beecham is no less passionate to learn and grow as an artist than he was that first full-time day in the late summer of 1978. He struggled for many years to define his vision and improve his technical skills. Forced to slow down and ponder life and work as he lay in a hospital bed for three days in 2013, he asked himself a simple question, “Who am I?” In other words, “What am I trying to say as an artist and how do I go about saying it?”

His conclusion was that he must take the tools of his trade; color, value, texture, edges, drawing and composition and, in his work, strive toward unity in the context of simplicity and beauty. He is also fascinated with creating the illusion of mass, weight and volume on a two dimensional surface. Beecham considers his life work as an artist to be a journey. There have been a few paintings that have come close to matching his vision, but he continues to press on, hoping to match vision with reality. He believes his talent, opportunity, and passion to paint are gifts from God, and that it is his responsibility to pursue excellence in art and be a blessing to those who view his work.

Beecham’s work is included in permanent collections of The National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, Oklahoma City, OK - The Gilcrease Museum, Tulsa, OK, The National Museum of Wildlife Art, Jackson, WY, The James Museum, Tampa, FL, The Briscoe Museum, San Antonio, TX, The Booth Museum, Cartersville, GA, and The Montana Historical Museum, Helena, MT. He is a six-time winner of the Prix de West Wildlife Art Award at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City as well as the Prix de West Buyer’s Choice Award. In the summer of 2021, he was awarded the Prix de West purchase award, arguably the highest honor in all of western art. Greg has also received the artist’s choice and collector’s choice awards at the Night of Artists Show at the Briscoe Museum in San Antonio as well as the Red Smith artist choice award at the Western Visions Show, National Museum of Wildlife Art, Jackson, WY.

Beecham’s work has been covered in numerous magazines such as Southwest Art and Art of the West. His work has graced the covers of the following magazines; Safari Magazine (3 times), Southwest Art (twice), Western Art Collector (twice), Bugle, Wildlife Art News, Sporting Classics, and U.S. Art. Greg has been married to Lu Beecham for 46 years. They have a son and a daughter, both grown, whom they are very proud of.

Mark Boedges

Mark Boedges has, in a short time, amassed numerous awards and showcased his work in many galleries. He attended the University of Kansas, where he received a degree in philosophy. The painting bug, and in particular, painting plein air, took hold of him. He went back to school to study Fine Art at the University of Colorado. Preferring a more traditional approach to painting, Mark left the program after two years to study exclusively from nature. Painting plein air had become his sole focus, and it would remain so for several years. Through this study, his skills quickly developed. His first show was in 2003, and it was a great success, nearly selling out. But all artists need mentoring, and realizing that to further progress, he needed guidance, Mark began to seek out other artists and attend workshops to learn everything he could about his craft, which he continues to do to this day.

Mark has recently received Best in Show at the following shows: American Impressionist Society, Wayne Plein Air, Vermont Plein Air, Door County Plein Air, and Scottsdale Salon of Fine Art. Additional accolades include the Joseph Hartley Memorial Award at the prestigious Salmagundi Club in New York City, the Bohnert Memorial Award with the Hudson Valley Art Association, the Artistic Excellence Award with Southwest Art magazine, and the Grand Prize for Landscape, as well as a feature article with International Artist magazine.

“While I paint many different kinds of subjects, the landscape is my first and greatest love. Like many artists, I strive to achieve a painterly realism in my work. I do this for a few reasons. As students, we are taught to focus on what is essential in our subject, but this can be a subjective judgment. For me, what is essential about nature is its complexity. Everywhere I look, I see the grittiness, cragginess, and fine-grained texture of the natural world. It is this essential ruggedness and complexity that I try to capture in paint. Experience has taught me that two aspects, more than any other, are crucial in this endeavor. The first is using multiple layers of paint, abstractly and randomly applied, to suggest the depth of nature’s complexity since I could never render this literally or convincingly. The second is to focus on and really capture the ambient light, as this is the source of all the subtle and remarkably beautiful shifts in color and value that give reality its presence and liveliness.” – Mark Boedges

Tom Browning

“I didn’t choose art as a career, it chose me” is the answer often given by Tom Browning whenever asked why he decided to become an artist. From drawing horses, wildlife, and Indians at age seven, Browning has dedicated five decades to painting and studying the works of artists like Charlie Russell, James Reynolds, and Haddon Sundblom. Continuously seeking innovative ways to express these subjects, he has carved a distinctive niche in the Western art market with his colorful and fluid brushwork.

In 1994, Tom authored an instructional book titled “Timeless Techniques for Improved Oil Paintings,” widely praised by numerous art schools and painting enthusiasts as an outstanding contribution to the field. The book gained acclaim as one of the finest available in the market. Following this success, Tom embarked on a decade-long commitment to give back to the art community. He extensively traveled across the country, conducting workshops and delivering painting demonstrations, all while maintaining a demanding painting schedule. More recently, Tom made the decision to scale back his workshop engagements and focus exclusively on his painting endeavors. Critiques of his artwork often highlight his ability to capture a moment in time, brimming with impact and emotion, showcasing a discerning observation of light.

In 2009, Tom earned the prestigious Prix de West award for his painting Dawn of a New Day. This achievement heightened the popularity of his work, leading to more invitations and accolades from museum shows nationwide. His focus on the working cowboy and the American West earned him membership in the esteemed Cowboy Artists of America that same year. Browning’s consistent success in CAA exhibitions and sales solidified his reputation among discerning western art collectors throughout the country.

Today, Browning is celebrated for his loose painting style, prioritizing implied detail over intricate rendering. His exceptional attention to light and atmosphere remains a hallmark of his work, where he skillfully portrays cowboys, horses, and Native Americans, creating art that resonates with a timeless and captivating allure.

Russell Case

Western painter G. Russell Case is inspired by creation, but he places little value on literal translations. His sweeping, idealized versions of the western landscape are compositions that combine the beauty of the created world with the rich imagination and originality of an artist’s mind. While there is an unmistakable honesty present in his painted environments stemming from his engagement with the land painted directly from creation - viewers may be reminded of other great artists of the west, whose work is marked by distinctive artistic philosophies. Case is surely a student of his artistic forebears. The monumental scale of Maynard Dixon, or the unfiltered color and light of Thomas Moran, both find their way into his visual language. Yet Case’s work is simple, pure, and fresh; his painting draws in the viewer and delivers timeless landscapes. We are immediately transported into a world created by shadow and light, of immense vistas punctuated by jagged mountains and inhabited by lonesome cowboys and native Indians. Today, Russell Case’s work is represented in galleries including Astoria Jackson, WY; Maxwell Alexander Gallery - LA, California; Legacy Gallery Santa Fe, NM; David Ericson Fine ArtSalt Lake City, UT; Bingham Gallery - MT. Carmel, UT.

Case has also won numerous awards including Best of Show and First Place Oil Painting, Phippen Western Art Show in Prescott, Arizona in 2001; First Place at Southwest Magazine Artist to Watch Show in Steam Boat Springs, Colorado in 2002; Best of Show, People’s Choice, Artist’s Choice, Maynard Dixon Country, Mt. Carmel Junction, Utah in 2003; 2004 brought him the Golden Thunderbird Award for Best of Show at the Maynard Dixon Country exhibition. In 2005 Russell won the Edith Hamlin award at the Maynard Dixon Country and Coors Show featured artist 2010. In 2012 he was awarded Best of Show at the Coors Western Art Exhibition & Sale and in 2014 Artists Choice. Among the national shows Case is in are the Prix de West in Oklahoma City, OK; Coors Western Art Exhibition in Denver, CO; and Maynard Dixon Country in Mt. Carmel, UT.

Case is grateful and humbled for the opportunity of making a living as a landscape painter, giving all glory and praise to God, the author and sustainer of all creation. Russell resides in Brigham City, Utah. He is married to Susanne and they have 3 children: Taylee, Morgan and Cooper. He is also a proud grandpa to 6 grandchildren.

Scott Christensen

Scott L. Christensen is a world-renowned award-winning artist and educator, based in Teton Valley, Idaho. He is known for his stunning landscapes in both oil and gouache, the emotion he evokes through his art, and for his world-class online and in-person workshops through Adventure of Painting. Scott has been painting and teaching for over 40 years, and his work is highly regarded by both artists and collectors alike.

Painting is not simply Scott’s passion, it’s his necessity. Mind and body attuned, he moves through the process of creating each landscape just as a river flows over rocks, and around islands, all the while seeking a mellifluous whole. Obstacles of composition, color, and tone are transformed into opportunities with each stroke of his brush. Scott’s goal is to compose an aggregate vision of nature’s beauty, while also delighting in the journey. “The process alone,” he says, “is worth the effort.”

Scott grew up in Lander, Wyoming, a place of extreme geography and wild beauty. It was not until college, however, that he would recognize nature as his muse. The shift was precipitated by a personal catastrophe. While attending Chardon State in Nebraska on a football scholarship, he sustained a severe neck injury. It left him unable to compete. Bereft, he sought solace in fly fishing and visiting his grandfather, a wheelchair-bound amateur oil painter. The scent of oils stirred Christensen’s imagination, so he took a leap into the unknown and enrolled in art classes. He eventually earned a degree in art education, but chose to paint instead of teach. Now, he does both.

Over the years, he has pursued painting with the discipline he once brought to sports: the atypical combination of athleticism, scholarly curiosity, and an ardent desire to experience nature became the alchemy of his success. Although finished at the easel, most of his paintings begin as plein air studies. They end up in prestigious gallery and museum shows, as well as in major collections, like Prix de West and in the permanent collection of Grand Teton National Park’s Craig Thomas Visitors’ Center.

John Coleman

John Coleman truly is a renaissance man in every sense of the word. He spent many years as a very successful businessman before he decided to leave that career behind to pursue his “true passion” in life –fine art.

At the time that John finally made the decision to walk away from his contracting business, he thought about sculpting, despite his focus on portraiture during his teenage years. Interestingly, the very first time that John touched a piece of sculpting clay, he said that he immediately knew he wanted to be a sculptor. His sculpting style of Native Americans is unique in that he does not simply strive to replicate the visage of the figure that he is sculpting. Because of his scholarly interest in history and mythology his goal, whether with individual pieces or with the pieces within a series, is to always tell a fact-based story to the viewer of his sculptures.

He has achieved numerous awards and accolades. He became a member of the National Sculpture Society in 1999 and a member of Cowboy Artists of America in 2001. A 10-year project the Bodmer –Catlin series gave him many awards and notoriety. This series is in five museums in the United States and Life-size works in numerous museums and public installations.

John felt a need to incorporate paintings into his body of work as an artist. His unique style of oil painting and graphite/charcoal drawings immediately became very popular with collectors. John lives in Arizona with his wife Sue and has two daughters and five grandchildren.

Brent Cotton

Raised on his family’s cattle ranch in Idaho, Brent’s first lessons in art were taught by his grandmother, a  talented watercolorist.  He grew up sketching the cowboys and horses he observed every day.  In high school an influential instructor encouraged him to pursue a career in art.  Upon graduation, he spent several seasons as a hunting and fishing guide in the vast wilderness of Idaho and Alaska, experiences that led to many painting ideas.  He focused on wildlife art and taught himself woodcarving as a way to express himself.  His specialty became gamefish and songbirds.

After several years of carving and sculpting, Brent decided to concentrate on painting.  He began attending workshops, and over the years has studied with some of the best known names in wildlife and western art.  He was part of a select group of artists to study with world-renowned western artist Howard Terpning at the Cowboy Artists of American workshop in 1997.  He gives Oklahoma artist Christine Verner the most credit for putting him on the path he’s on now. She expanded his vision and under her direction his work turned from highly detailed to a more painterly and looser approach.

He also enjoys “Plein Air” painting and strives to work outdoors as often as he can. “I became a better artist when I began painting from life, it forced me to really observe and train my eyes to filter out the unnecessary stuff and focus on the major elements.”

Brent’s work has garnered several national awards including the prestigious “Arts for the Parks Top 100” in both 1997 and in 2003, where his painting “Evensong” won both the “People’s Choice” and “Region 3” awards.  Brent was also the very first recipient of the “CM Russell Museum CEO Award” at the annual CM Russell Art Auction in Montana. He was recently invited to participate in the prestigious “Prix de West” Invitational show in Oklahoma City, a lifelong goal for him.

He is represented by several galleries throughout the country, with work in many private and corporate collections abroad.  Some of his notable collectors include; Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brokaw, and Brent Musberger. His work has been the subject of several feature articles in major art and western lifestyle magazines.   He and his wife Jennifer and their two small children live in the beautiful Bitterroot valley of Montana, where the rural lifestyle and wild rivers provide constant inspiration.

Michael Dudash

Born and raised in Minnesota, Michael settled in the Green Mountains of Vermont where he began his full-time career as an artist and oil painter in 1977. Working with agents in New York, he found immediate success as a freelance illustrator which brought him national notoriety and a career that lasted 25 years. In 2002 he left illustration behind to become a full time “easel” painter, dedicating himself to creating his own work. This eventually led him to concentrate his efforts about the old west as represented by narrative paintings of the 1800’s.

Michael says “I love to create paintings that illustrate the 19 th century old West and the history of the American frontier. This gives me the opportunity to paint figures, landscapes, action, animals, interesting costuming and of course dust and atmosphere! I find that story telling through narrative painting allows me to address both serious and lighthearted subjects. I also enjoy the challenge of trying to create works of art that are moving, beautiful, and timeless in their appeal. Relying upon the good Lord’s inspiration and a lot of hard work, I daily try to live up to the challenge.”

Michael has written and published articles for American Artist, and The Artists Magazine; his work has been showcased in Art of the West, Southwest Art and Western Art Collector. He has been a guest lecturer and instructor at many art schools, art institutions and museums, including the Booth Western Art Museum, Brigham Young University, Museum of Biblical Art in Dallas and Scottsdale Artists School.

He has shown and sold his work at the C. M. Russell Museum, Prix De West (9 years), the Booth Museum of Western Art, the Briscoe Western Art Museum and the Eiteljorg Museum. In recent years his paintings have won 12 separate industry awards. In the fall of 2016, he was invited to become a member of the prestigious Cowboy Artists Of America, where he received at their annual show Gold Medals for Best Oil Painting (2021 & 2022), Gold Medal for Drawing (2017) and the Ray Swanson Award (2023).

Michael currently works out of his home and studio in the Coeur d’Alene, ID area, where he lives with his wife Valerie.

Josh Elliott

A third-generation artist, Josh Elliott was born in Great Falls, Montana. His grandfather dabbled in a variety of artistic pursuits, and his father, Steve Elliott, is an accomplished wildlife and landscape painter.

He studied art at the University, then married his wife, Allison. He began outdoor painting throughout Oregon and Montana. Elliott says, “Painting outdoors is a reaction to what is in front of me, where studio painting is more of a reflection of who I am in response to nature.” In the studio, he has more freedom to experiment and focus on what makes a good painting. He believes that if he has an emotional response to a scene, the resulting painting will find an audience.

Elliott cites many artistic influences and paints a variety of subjects within the landscape genre. He is motivated more by ideas than a particular location, “I look for artistic elements like shapes and patterns, value relationships or color combinations. I want there to be reason to start a painting; do I want to make it epic, or poetic, or maybe iconic? My hope is that it is always artistic.”

Elliott’s work resides in several museum collections, including the Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville, Georgia; the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art in Indianapolis; the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City; and the Whitney Western Art Museum at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming.

Selected exhibitions include 21st Century Regionalists: Art of the New West at the Booth Western Art Museum; The Next West: Innovating Tradition at the Desert Caballeros Western Museum in Wickenburg, Arizona; American Masters at the Salmagundi Club in New York City; The West Select at the Phoenix Art Museum; Prix de West at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City; and Quest for the West at the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art in Indianapolis.

Among his many awards, Elliott has received the Harrison Eiteljorg Purchase Award, the Victor Higgins Award of Distinction, the Artists’ Choice Award, and the Palette Award at Quest for the West; the Edith Hamlin Award at the Maynard Dixon Country Invitational; and the 2D Award at the Buffalo Bill Art Show & Sale at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. His work has been featured in the magazines American Artist, Art of the West, Southwest Art, and Western Art Collector and in the book Painters of Grand Teton National Park.

Josh lives in Montana with his wife Allison and their two daughters.

Teresa Elliott

Teresa Elliott is an American realist painter living and working in her desert studio north of the Big Bend National Park in Alpine, Texas. Today, she is best known for portraits of bovines and figurative paintings immersed in the natural rural environment in the Southwest.

Her family of origin settled in Texas in the 1800’s, working a farm with Angus cattle and pecan orchards. A fascination with livestock and Texas countryside colored her world then and has continued to inspire her fine art today. Yearly family vacations to the farm from her home in the Midwest kept her interested in the gritty lifestyle of farm life that has influenced her work to this day.

After completing a Fine Art BFA from the University of Kansas she moved to Dallas, Texas and worked as self-employed graphic designer and illustrator. Many years as an illustrator prepared her for her true calling as a fine art painter, especially after discovering the Texas Longhorn with all their many colorful attributes living near her home in suburban north Texas. In 2006, she had a sold-out gallery show in Ft. Worth, Texas which launched her career and afforded her to devote every day to her studio practice.

Her studio in the hills of the Big Bend region of West Texas sits on a bed of ancient lava rock looking over a vast old ranch. The wandering javelina, deer and turkey are frequent visitors at her studio reminding her of her favorite quote from John Muir, “When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it connected to the rest of the world.”

Teresa is a member of the Prix de West Show in Oklahoma City and the Briscoe Museum in San Antonio, TX.

Phil Epp

Phil Epp was born in York, Nebraska in 1946 and raised in rural Nebraska on a crop/cattle farm. Phil was awarded the Kansas Governors Artist award in 1985. His paintings have been shown at galleries in New Mexico, Chicago and Kansas City and New York. Numerous monumental public works have been awarded honors including “8 wonders of Kansas Art” in 2009 and” Water Tower of the Year” in 2010.

In 2009, Phil was selected as a U.S. cultural ambassador to Kazakhstan with the Department of States’ “Art in Embassies” program. His work has been displayed in American Embassies in Latvia, Africa and Fiji. In 2010 he received the Best of Show award at the Panhandle Plains Invitational in Canyon, Texas. He recently completed three large paintings for Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs. His induction into the Cowboy Artists of America is a monumental yet humbling honor and challenge. His work is in the permanent collection of the Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Center, as well as the Briscoe Museum, Booth Museum and Wichita Art Museum. He has received two “Best of Show” awards and American Hat award at the Cowboy Artists of America annual shows.

The wide-open spaces and the horses, cowboys, Native Americans and prairie creatures that inhabit this empty landscape have been a lifelong passion. Epp’s studio is based in Kansas, and he continues to travel, photograph and paint the wide open western vistas.

Artist Statement:

“I am strongly imprinted into the open spaces of the Great Plains where I was born and have spent most of my life. My paintings reflect this celebration of open sky and landscape, with a hint of human occupation. My intention is to engage the viewer in this isolation, but not dictate response. I strive to incorporate timeless universal icons into the landscape.”

Martin Grelle

Martin Grelle began drawing and painting when he was very young and was fortunate to have James Boren and Melvin Warren, two professional artists and members of the prestigious Cowboy Artists of America, move to the area when he was still in high school. Mentored by Boren, he had his first one-man show at a local gallery within a year of graduating from high school. In the years since he has produced some 32 one-man exhibitions, including the very successful one man shows through Legacy Gallery.

Grelle was invited to join the membership of the Cowboy Artists of America in 1995,  fulfilling a dream that began in when he first met Boren and Warren. That same year he was invited to participate in the first Prix de West Invitational at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. Since that time, he has won the Prix de West Purchase Award, twice, the Nona Jean Hulsey Rumsey Buyers’ Choice Award, three times, the CA People’s Choice Award in 2002, the CA Ray Swanson Award in 2008, the CA Buyers’ Choice Award in 2011, 2012, 2014, and 2018, and the Silver Award for Water Solubles in 2012 and 2014. In addition, he was awarded the Silver Award for Oil in 2017, the Gold Award for Drawing in 2018, and the Silver Award for Mixed Media in 2019, and the Gold Award for oil painting in 2023. He was awarded the Legacy Award by The Briscoe Museum in 2012 for his impact on western art and was presented the Spirit of the West Award by the San Dimas Festival of Arts in April of 2016, and the Artist of Excellence Award by the Booth Museum in Georgia in 2020. He was awarded the Sam Houston Best Painting Award at the Briscoe Museum’s Night of Artist Exhibition in 2020. In May of 2021, Grelle was acknowledged for his Artistic contributions to the state of Texas by the state Senate.

Grelle has served on the board of directors for the CA organization, serving as President for 2014 and 2018, and as Chairman of CAA 50th Anniversary Events during 2015.

Quang Ho

Quang Ho was born in 1963 in Hue, Vietnam. He Immigrated to the United States in 1975, and is now a U.S. Citizen. His artistic interest began at the early age of three, and continued through grade school, high school, art school and led him to a very exciting and successful painting profession. In 1980, at the age of 16, Quang held his first one-man-show at Tomorrows Masters Gallery in Denver Colorado. The exhibit was a smashing success for the high school sophomore.

In 1982, Quang’s mother was killed in a tragic auto accident, leaving him the responsibility of raising four younger brothers and a six year old sister. That same year, Quang attended the Colorado Institute of Art on a National Scholastics Art Awards Scholarship. At CIA, Quang studied painting under Rene Bruhin, whom Quang credits with developing the foundation for his artistic understanding. Ho graduated from CIA in 1985 with Best Portfolio Award for the graduating class.

An art dealer, Mikkel Saks, discovered his talent and promoted him in his gallery, which led to much success. He also teaches at the Denver Art Students League. Ho’s clients include Adolph Coors Company; Upjohn, Safeway, Colorado Symphony, and the Chicago Symphony. Ho’s illustration works have been featured in the Illustrators Annual and exhibited at the Museum of American Illustrations; and the Communication Arts Illustrations Annual during those years.

Working mostly in oils and occasionally watercolor and pastels, Ho’s subject matter ranges from stilllife, landscapes, interiors, and dancers, to figuratives. “Subject matter is not really important to me. I can find visual excitement all around me as well as on the canvas - from a knot on a tree, graceful limp of a flower wilting, to a juxtaposition of a few simple shapes and colors... inspirations are inexhaustible.”

Quang Ho is a member of the Prix de West Show at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum.

Jerry Jordan

Jerry Jordan is a modern impressionist painter who is continually inspired by the work of the Taos Society of artists including Victor Higgins and Ernest Blumenschein. Much like the Taos founders before him, Jordan was haunted by the artistic appeal of Northern New Mexico which includes stunning landscapes, unique architecture and an appreciation of Native culture. Taos became his permanent home and it is his constant muse.

When people first experience a Jordan painting, they are immediately transported to another time. They often wonder aloud if the work is historic or contemporary. Since Jerry is a colorist, the biggest overall reaction from the viewer is in response to his well thought out palette, each visible stroke a mix of colors that summons the viewer to take a longer and closer look.

There is a spiritualism about Jerry's work that is captured in his renderings of pueblo life and of the landscape that serves as a backdrop for modern and historic life in Taos. Each painting signed with an acronym of Taos: Together. Always. Our. Spirit.

Z.S. Liang

Born in China and raised in a family of artists, Z.S. Liang began his training at an early age at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. Like many of his contemporaries, Liang studied realism where he had the opportunity to study the work of 19th and 20th century Russian masters. With the end of the Cultural Revolution, came the opportunity many promising Chinese artists yearned for; access to western books and magazines and the ability to travel abroad and experience western culture.

It was on the east coast of the United States that Liang was first inspired to paint Native American cultures. His passion for the Native Americans as a people coupled with a keen sense of historical accuracy, storytelling abilities and exceptional drawing skills, add strength and truth to his dynamic portrayals. During the ensuing years of field research, he has made many connections and friends among native tribes from the east coast to the west coast.

Today, Liang’s penchant for detail combined with the historical and narrative elements of his paintings have firmly established him among the ranks of the finest western, representational painters in the country. In each painting, whether a complex subject matter, his meticulous research and dedication is clear, giving his work passion and authenticity.

He is a member of the American Society of Portrait Artists; and the Prix de West from National Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. His public collections include, National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian, Washington, DC; Autry National Center, Los Angeles, CA; West Point Museum of The United States Military Academy, West Point, NY; Harvard University, Cambridge, MA., James Museum in St. Petersburg, FL.

Jeremy Lipking

Jeremy Lipking started drawing and painting as a child. He would size up the figure as the sum of its parts, picking out the eyes, the nose, the mouth, and the hands. But his teachers at the California Art Institute taught him to detect the shapes created by light and darks and the subtleties of color. His father was an illustrator of childrens books and always encouraged him to go into painting. He was raised in Southern California and lives there still with his wife and 5 children.

Lipking was attracted to a traditional style of painting because “it has so much to do with what’s happening right here and right now—you’re capturing the moment” he says. “For example, if you’re out painting at the end of the day and the light’s coming down and hitting the side of a hill or a mountain, that’s it. That’s what you need to paint. That’s the here and now. Of course, that’s not the whole statement. It has more to do with capturing things the way you see them.”

In a place close to home, such as the Pacific Coast, Malibu Canyon, and the Santa Monica Mountains, Lipking will paint with a live model or, if conditions are prohibitive, take photographs as reference. He prefers to work outdoors and tries to lay out as many pieces as possible in one sitting. The ideal method, he says, is to make a quick painting from life, photograph his model, and then take the material back to his studio for completion. But he follows no set rules, opting instead for whatever process seems to best suit the painting.

Jeremy has had many successful One Man Shows from New York to California. With a very successful one many show at Legacy Gallery in 2022. He is a member of the Prix de West show in Oklahoma.

Huihan Liu

As far back as Huihan Liu remembers, he has loved to draw and sketch. As a child, Liu’s father taught him to write a Chinese calligraphy with a brush and link on rice paper, thus encouraging his interest in art.

Liu was trained in the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Art in China, and then received bachelor’s (1972) and master’s (1989) degrees from the Academy of Art College of San Francisco. Today, with more than 40 years of experience as illustrator and teacher, he is also a master signature member of the Oil Painters of America, a master signature member of American Impressionist Society and a signature member of the California Art Club.

Liu has received numerous awards such: as Best of Show Award in the Oil Painters of America Regional Exhibition in 1996, “Gold Medal for Best painting” in California Art Club’s 92nd Annual Juried Exhibition in 2003, “Best of Show in Painting-John Scott people’s Choice Award” in Western Rendezvous of Art in 2003, Gold Medal for the Master Signature Division at the Oil painters of America Western Regional Show, First Place winner in Bowers Museum Contemporary Plein Air Permanent Collection in 2003, First Place Winner in Ninth Annual Mission San Juan Capistrano Plein Air Painting Event- Wilmington Trust Purchase Collection, Brinton Museum Purchase Awards Permanent Collection, 13th ARC Salon Finalists. 29th OPA National Juried Exhibition for the Shirl Smithson Foundation’ Award in 2020, Prix de West Frederic Remington Painting Award in 2022 and Recipient of the Robert Lougheed Award at Prix de West, 2023.

David Mann

David Mann was inspired by Western images from the time he was a child and read a book illustrated by Alfred Jacob Miller, one of the pioneering painters of Western art. Mann was also inspired by Frank McCarthy illustrations he saw in Life magazine. Then, as a young Mormon Church missionary, Mann was assigned to the Southwest and lived for two years with the Apache on the San Carlos reservation, the Pimas and Papagos near Tucson, and the Pueblos and Navajos near Albuquerque. This mission to the Southwest Indian Nations left an indelible impression on Mann, and became the basis of his art.

Nonetheless, the mission was only the beginning for the young painter. Mann studied art at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, and graduated with a major in art education. He then held a variety of jobs, including teaching, working in construction, as a librarian, as well as an illustrator. He also worked for both the State of Utah and the Department of the Interior, jobs which allowed him to explore and paint the landscape he had come to enjoy.

Mann married, and supporting his desire to paint full time, his wife Terry supported their family, which gave him a chance to pursue his dream. During this time, Mann looked to artists such as Frank Tenney Johnson and Frederic Remington for inspiration. After four years, he became a success in the eye of collectors, and since then has been in continuous demand.

A painter of the everyday life of Native American figures, Mann does extensive research on the clothing and background objects of his works, but does not show actual historical events. Most of his Plains Indians are placed in the context of the mid to late 19th century, before they were moved to reservations and when they could still practice the rituals of their culture. Although Mann does not romanticize his models, his goal is to create an “uplifting portrayal” of a people and way of life beyond the superficial.

John Moyers

John Moyers grew up in an artistic environment in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His father, sculptor and painter William Moyers, was his first role model. As a child, Moyers displayed a natural affinity for art, and during his early years— surrounded by paintings and sculptures—he was able to experiment with clay, charcoal, India ink, and watercolors. Eventually he moved on to acrylic and oils.

After graduating from high school in New Mexico, Moyers was invited to live in the Laguna Beach area with one of his father’s former art teachers, John Noel Tucker. Tucker was a talented teacher and painter, and he really opened Moyers’s eyes to the world of art. He also took advantage of daily critique from Tucker. During that same period, he attended classes at Laguna Beach School of Art and Saddleback Junior College; wherever he could find life drawing and figure painting classes. In 1978, Moyers started taking his plein air work to Robert Lougheed for critique but only when he returned home to New Mexico from art school during breaks. In 1979, Lougheed invited him to paint along with several other artists at the Okanagan Game Farm in British Columbia, Canada. Moyers then decided to leave art school and return to New Mexico, where he could spend a dedicated amount of time studying and painting alongside Lougheed year-round.

In 1982, Moyers married fellow artist Terri Kelly Moyers, whom he originally met at the artist gathering at the Okanagan Game Farm. They live in California where he and Terri continue to paint en plein air as much as possible. Moyers loves to paint in Hawaii, a place that has captivated his interest since his youth. Together, the couple has traveled and painted all over the world. Both artists consider their outdoor work critical to their studio work.

During Moyers’s 40-year career, he has won numerous awards, some of them considered the most prestigious in the Western art world. In 2003, he received the Robert Lougheed Memorial Award at the Prix de West. A seven-time winner of the Cowboy Artists of America’s (CAA) Kieckhefer Award (Best of Show), he also received numerous Gold and Silver Awards in oil and water-soluble media at their annual exhibition and sale. In 2017 he won the James R. Parks Trustees’ Purchase Award for The Elders’ Walk at the Masters of the American West, and the Harrison Eiteljorg Purchase Award for The Way to Sacred Water at the Quest for the West. His work is in many other museum and private collections throughout the world, and has been featured in such publications as Art of the West, Southwest Art, Western Art & Architecture, and Western Art Collector. In 2021, he won the Director’s Choice for Excellence for Vanguard of the Northern Plains at the Prix de West. Most recently Moyers received the Gayle Roski - Stories of the West Award at the 2022 Masters of the American West.

Terri Kelly Moyers

Terri Kelly Moyers has never wanted to do anything in life but paint. Even as a child growing up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, she was constantly drawing with her main subject matter being horses. She briefly studied at the Alberta College of Art and also the Mount Royal Community College, but the stylistic emphasis in these two institutions was not of the realist, nature-based school that interested Terri. She continued working independently until she attended a month-long painting workshop taught by the artist, Robert Lougheed, at the Okanagan Game Farm in British Columbia. It was there that she began in earnest painting animals from life as well as rubbing shoulders with and getting advice from artists from all over America. One of those artists receiving instruction from Lougheed was her future husband, John Moyers, of New Mexico.

Whether painting a portrait, a landscape or a cowgirl riding a horse, Moyer’s subjects are things that are beautiful and that move her. Her favorite subject is the American cowgirl. “I enjoy painting women,” she says. “I feel women had a major role to play in the West, and maybe that hasn’t been recognized as much as it could be.”

Terri Moyers exhibits annually at the Prix de West Show at the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, OK, the Masters of the American West Show at the Autry Museum of Western Heritage, in Los Angeles, CA, and Quest for the West held at the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis, IN. She lives in California with her artist husband, John Moyers. Terri paints in her studio and en plein air while traveling abroad which is another passion of hers.

Robert Peters

Robert Peters is a landscape and still-life painter with a career spanning more than forty years. He has participated in museum exhibitions such as the Prix de West, Quest for the West, Masters of the American West, Night of Artists, and The West Select. Robert’s paintings have earned great acclaim, and several museums have included his paintings as part of their permanent collections. His work has steadily earned him acceptance and recognition as one of America’s notable landscape painters.

At the start of his career, Robert worked for twelve years as a freelance illustrator represented in New York City. As a member of the Society of Illustrators, his awardwinning paintings were featured on the covers of magazines such as US News and World Report. Robert created paintings for the national advertising campaigns of corporations such as AT&T, 7UP, MasterCard, IBM, Microsoft, Intel, Audi, Canon, Motorola, Revlon, TV Guide, and others. Robert’s illustration experience gave him a solid foundation for his current work.

Born in upstate New York and raised in Phoenix, Arizona Robert credits his early memories of the Southwestern deserts with sparking a passion for the outdoors. His extensive travels throughout the American West instilled a love for nature. Enthusiasm and respect for the natural world continue to be the driving forces behind his landscape paintings.

“The western landscape is an endless source of inspiration to me,” Robert says. “I draw strictly from my own observations, which imparts an authentic and natural quality to my paintings. If something is in one of my paintings, I’ve been there and I’ve experienced it.” He also finds the technical challenges of his art to be motivating and rewarding. “One of the most energizing things about painting is improving the quality of what you do. I believe there is no limit to how far you can take your ability. Over the years, I’ve also realized it’s important for me to share my personal vision of the West with others. It’s a thrill when my paintings resonate with the viewer on a personal level.”

Robert’s life in the West also included some time in Colorado and the central coast of California, where he and his wife, Nanette, raised and showed paint horses. The couple and their two children have since moved back home to Arizona, near Prescott, where they reside today.

Publications featuring Robert’s paintings have included Art of the West, Cowboys and Indians, Fine Art Connoisseur, Persimmon Hill, Southwest Art, Western Art Collector, Western Horseman, and Wildlife Art.

Scott Rogers

David Scott Rogers, a sculptor with thirty-three years of experience, has a rich history intertwined with art. His Great Grandfather, John Rogers, was a martyr burned at the stake in 1555 for translating and printing one of the first English Bibles. Relatives Thomas Rogers and Samuel Fuller signed the Mayflower Compact in 1620, and his great-great-grandfather, Henry Clay Rogers, settled Lehi, Arizona, in 1877. Born in Mesa, Arizona, Scott’s uncle, Grant Speed, was a renowned artist in western art.

Quotes about Scott’s work highlight its unique qualities, such as sculpting on the edge, perfection in chaos, and a presence that transcends the physical confines of the sculpture. Scott aims to create art that serves as an instant conduit to knowledge, anatomy, feelings, history, and tradition. His goal is to lift spirits, inspire positivity, and encourage viewers to actively engage with the portrayed events or times.

Scott’s youth experiences, from saving a drowning boy at twelve to winning a Golden Gloves boxing championship at sixteen, contribute to the authenticity of his sculptures. These diverse experiences, including camping in snow, participating in rodeos, and working in an Alaskan gold mine, shape the emotional fingerprints evident in his artwork.

In Scott’s own words, his lifelong fascination with renegades, outlaws, and stories of courage and freedom fuels his desire to use art as a means to inspire others to appreciate the beauty of life in all its forms.

“My desire is to use art as a vehicle which inspires mankind to see the beauty of all life. A great work of art lifts the spirit! It can assist one to reach out for the ‘good’ in life. Art is able to inspire one to feel better about themselves and their fellowmen. Sculpture can be an instant conduit to a rich body of knowledge (i.e. anatomy, feelings, history and lore)”. For me, “It is in sculpting my feelings that allows me to make a piece feel larger than the confines of the piece itself.” - David Scott Rogers

Billy Schenck

One of the originators of the Western pop art movement, Billy Schenck incorporate techniques from photorealism with a pop art sensibility to both exalt and poke fun at images of the West. Schenck is known for utilizing cinematic imagery reproduced in a flattened, reductive style, where colors are displayed side-byside rather than blended or shadowed. In the August 2014 issue of Southwest Art magazine, his work was described as “a stance … a pendulum between the romantic and the irreverent.”

Schenck’s artwork is now in 60 museum collections, including Smithsonian Institution, Albuquerque Museum, Autry Museum of the American West, Booth Western Art Museum, Briscoe Western Art Museum, Denver Art Museum, the Mesa Southwest Museum, Museum of the Southwest, New Mexico Museum of Art, Phoenix Art Museum, Tucson Museum of Art. Private collections include the estate of Malcolm Forbes, Laurence Rockefeller, Sylvester Stallone and the estate of Fritz Scholder. Corporate collections include American Airlines, IBM, Sony, and Saatchi & Saatchi.

With over 120 solo shows in the U.S. and Europe, career highlights include the Briscoe Western Art Museum’s 2018, Andy Warhol Cowboys and Indians and Billy Schenck Myth of the West retrospective, 2023 Museum of the West, Mystic Visions of the West, Denver Art Museum’s 2011 Western Horizons and the 2013 Utah Museum of Fine Art’s exhibit Bierstadt to Warhol:American Indians in the West.

A genuine cowboy himself, Schenck is a ranch-sorting world champion and the proprietor of the Double Standard Ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico, his home for the past two decades.

Daniel Smith

Painter Daniel Smith, who is equal parts hermit, aesthete, and explorer of the outback, has never thought of himself as being a visual provocateur.

Over the last decade, Smith’s original pieces have been exhibited at, or become part of permanent collections at the Eiteljorg, the Autry, the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, the National Museum of Wildlife Art, the Hiram Blauvelt Art Museum, the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, The Bennington Center for the Arts, The Wildlife Experience, The Leanin Tree Museum of Western Art and the Ella Sharp Museum of Art and History. He is a participate in the Prix de West Show at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum.

Today, Smith and his wife, Liz, the parents of three grown children, live at the end of a dirt road outside of Bozeman, Montana at the edge of a national forest.  Smith resides here, he says, to maintain a connection to the real wild West. For the artist, it is, by design, never far away, as evidenced by the photographs he has taken of mountain lions, moose, black bears, elk, and mule deer that roam just beyond the vaulted window of his studio. “One of the most rewarding and inspiring elements of my job is the fieldwork,” Smith says. “It is the genesis of all of my paintings.”

Taking stock of the full diversity and beauty of nature has infused itself into the soul of this artist. Praised for being both meditative and absorbing, Smith’s canvasses have become mirrors for personal reflection.

Matt Smith was born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1960. At an early age he moved to Arizona where he developed his life long connection to the Sonoran Desert and the great outdoors. This was a connection that would eventually influence his decision to paint the landscape. As a teenager he also lived two years in France and one year in Switzerland. While in Europe, he had the opportunity to visit many of the great museums which helped solidify his love for art.

In 1985, Smith earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from Arizona State University. Somewhat frustrated with the abstract focus of the program at ASU he began looking to outside sources for inspiration and guidance. These sources included fellow artists, fine galleries and museums. This is where his “real” education began.

These days, Matt can often be found painting en Plein air from southern Arizona to the Canadian Rockies, from the California coast to the Rocky Mountains. “I appreciate traditional landscape painting and I am inspired by the pristine landscapes of the American West. I enjoy working in areas where one can travel for miles without seeing the influence of man. When I paint, I feel I’ve hit the mark when I’ve captured a balance between mood, look and feel.”

Jeremy Winborg

Jeremy Winborg is best known for his figurative work of Native American subjects that blend realism with abstract backgrounds. Winborg has had a passion for creating art since he was a child. He grew up in Utah working in an art studio alongside his father who was an illustrator.

Winborg began receiving awards and honors at a young age. “Being an artist was the only profession I ever considered when I was growing up.”

Winborg’s work is focused on creating Native American pieces that preserve a bit of history on each canvas. His paintings feature Native Americans dressed in traditional, authentic clothing with a focus on being historically accurate. Winborg is well-known for his bold brushwork and pallet knife work on his interesting, colorful backgrounds. He enjoys the juxtaposition of the realism and the abstraction, “I want the viewer to be drawn in and feel the emotion of the figure. Whether it’s happiness, sorrow or whatever that emotion may be. I want the figure to initially draw the viewer in and the brushstrokes and design to be the reason you’d want to stop and look for a while, or to enjoy that painting for a lifetime. A painting is a success to me if it conveys emotion and is interesting in small pieces as well as a whole.”

Jeremy and his wife, Danielle, have made Cache Valley, Utah home. They live there with their five children.
