The Show

estrella hall

madonna ranch barn

From its inception in 1990 at the Madonna Ranch Barn in San Luis Obispo to Estrella Hall at the Paso Robles Event Center the Cattlemen’s Western Art Show is celebrating 29 years.

50 artists showing their latest work and telling the stories that keep the cowboy spirit alive. We have come a long way since that handful of artists gathered and pulled it all together with the help of the San Luis Obispo Cattlemen’s Association. Founders Jackie and Larry Bees joined with Jo Ann Switzer, Jerry White, Pete Clark, Dick Nock, and countless others to make this show “A Major Cultural Event”.

Looking forward to many more years on the Central Coast we will keep the spirit of the west alive through the efforts of the artists that make this show complete.

Over decades of professional experience, Vicki has become one of the premier artists in the Western Art field. Her work is in high

demand and very collectible. It combines a mastery of brushstroke and color, exquisite Realism in portraiture and subjects, and authenticity in the Western elements. From the details in the hand-braided hackamore of the Buckaroo to the beadwork in the Native American regalia, her work displays a passion and care in preserving the ways of the Old West.

Her authenticity stems from years of working cattle in the mountains of Los Osos, California. This mentoring by Hank Peterson provided her foundation in the spade bit tradition of horse training. Simultaneously, her education in Animal Husbandry at California Polytechnic State University explains her delicate and accurate portrayal of livestock and wildlife.

Vicki’s focus on painting the Buckaroo began in Fallon, Nevada. While working at a cattle ranch and at the livestock auction yard she captured the nuances of the Western lifestyle around her. Ernie

Morris has also been a significant influence in her understanding of the Buckaroo tradition. His extensive literature on the subject, along with direct conversations

is another part of her foundation in authentic Western Art.

Vicki explains: “It was also in Fallon that I was introduced to the local Native American Tribes. They stimulated a passion inside me that brought my senses alive. Inspiration came from their respect for and connection with Mother Earth. I was excited by the way the light fell over their regalia and the traditions they have followed for centuries. My Native American subjects are primarily children and warriors. Their dignity and grace defy my tools of brush, canvas and oils – I must meet this challenge with the greatest of respect and accuracy.”

Keith BatchellerBorn in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains near Los Angeles, California, Keith Batcheller grew up admiring the images of the Southwest, the Old West and the native peoples of America. His early love of art led him to study at the prestigious Art Center College of Design where he earned a B.F.A. with honors. Later selected by the Art Center to attend post graduate courses in Connecticut, Keith studied with some of the country’s most acclaimed artists including Bob Peak, Mark English, Bernie Fuchs and Bob Heindel.

Keith began his professional career in New York City as an illustrator, and for the following thirty years he worked for major clients in New York, Chicago and the West Coast creating paintings used in the fields of advertising, publishing and the movie industry. He has done a significant amount of very recognizable work for Walt Disney Productions including movie posters of Pocahontas, Beauty and the Beast, and Lilo and Stitch, just to mention a few.

He now devotes time and energy to his true passion: painting western scenes and the variety of people who lived in bygone eras, as well as those who live in the contemporary west. Keith enjoys working mostly in oils on canvas using a style known as “Painterly Realism.” Telling a story and conveying a sense of emotion through each painting is Keith’s goal—one which provides enduring enjoyment for all who see his work.

Keith has been honored with many accolades and awards in his career including the ‘Gold Medal” for Best Oil Painting at the 37th Annual San Dimas Festival of Art and last year he won the Peoples Choice Award at the 28th Annual Cattlemens Western Art Show in Paso Robles, CA

LaiLa asgariHow do I make art with glass?

Glass comes in a variety of forms. I use several tech-niques when creating my art, but the one I almost always incorporate in my fused glass art is to apply, with a brush or maybe my hand, various sizes of glass frit (ground glass in a powdered or sand like texture) to a flat piece of glass. Using a wet brush, I treat the glass much like a watercolor without the ability to really blend. I may fire a piece sever-al times, adding details and additional colors and shading.

I may also slump the piece into a mold to make a bowl or platter which can then be considered functional art. I really enjoy painting with glass and participating in the process of having a finished piece. I say “participating” because, once a piece is placed in the kiln, the finished art always surprises me! The temperature of the kiln, color of the glass, and number of times a piece is fired all affect the outcome.About me and how this came to be?

I grew up in the Santa Clarita Valley area of Southern California. While I still reside in SoCal, I have ties to the Paso area through friends and family. I have been riding since I was about 5 and with my horse and lots of room to roam, I would imagine my life as a cowboy or Indian. I now channel my love of horses with my love of art and create one-of-a-kind, fused-glass works of art.

My art has been featured at several shows in the Autry Museum Store in Griffith Park, Los Angeles and is available for purchase there year round. I also have been a featured artist at OutWest in Santa Clarita, CA, and my artwork is now available at Brecon Estate Winery in Paso Robles, CA. I do several shows a year, including the Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival and the Cattlemen’s Western Art Sale and Show in Paso Robles.

Cliff BarnesCliff Barnes, a native Californian loves to paint the scenes of the West! He is an award winning artist who has achieved Signature Status in the Oil Painters of America, the American Plains Artists and a Master Watercolorist for Watercolor West. He is also a recognized California Art Club member

showing in their gallery in San Marino, CA. He continues to receive awards, most recently by the American Plains Artists for Best Historical Depiction in Art, and the third consecutive year in winning the Gold Medal in Watercolor at the San Dimas Festival of Art. Cliff and his wife, Betty, travel every year to explore unique scenes for his paintings having just returned from their trips to Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park, and in California: Kings Canyon, Sequoia,Yosemite National Parks and along the Coast from Big Sur, Morro Bay to Carmel. Cliff tries to capture some unique experience he has witnessed as he travels and make it come alive through his paintings.

Marika andersonCalifornia native Marika Anderson has been painting with transparent watercolors for over 20 years, most recently adding mixed media collage to her artistic repertoire. Marika’s fascination with color, contrast, line and pattern is evident throughout her artwork. Her experimentation with these design elements has

produced an exciting variety of dynamic realistic and semi-abstract images. Her subject matter often includes horses and other animals, landscapes, and plants, which reflect her love of nature. Many examples of her work can be seen at www.marikaart.com.

Marika has studied watercolor painting at workshops taught by some of the top water media artists in the U.S. Her equine art has won awards at the Art at the Classic Show (Draft Horse Classic), Equine Dream Art Show (Western States Horse Exposition), and Santa Clara Valley Watercolor Society Annual Show. She has participated in the annual Silicon Valley Open Studios event. Marika is currently a member of the Santa Clara Valley Watercolor Society and the California Watercolor Association.


Lorrie W. BeckLorrie Beck is a Dallas, Texas native. She has talent and extensive experience both in illustration and commercial art. Her work includes book illustrations, corporate logo designs, letterheads and numerous other commercial art projects. Throughout her life she has enjoyed drawing and painting. Drawing

has always been a passion for Beck, using pencil to combine her love of art, horses and the outdoors, though in recent years she has expanded her medium choices to include pastels and oils.

Beck’s work has been featured in Art of the West, The Equine Image, Equine Visions, InformArt, Horse & Rider, Western Horseman, and America’s Cutter, and her piece “Pride” was on the 2005 cover of the Art of the West Guidebook.

Beck is a Signature Member of the prestigious Plein Air Artists of Colorado and an Associate Member of Oil Painters of America.

Beck has self published several limited edition prints as well as a line of note cards depicting her drawings. Her work is in private collections throughout the country.

Kimberly bowenKimberly Bowen’s journey as a western and wildlife artist began as a little girl growing up in southern California. Pencil drawings and sketches of her favorite animal, the horse, evolved into more complex watercolor renditions, winning her several local and regional awards. This would pass for her only formal artistic training, and she would spend the next twenty-five years as a self-taught artist, honing in on a style to display her passion for the west and animals.

Moving to Colorado in the early 1990’s was, in many ways, an awakening. Impressive landscapes, wildlife, a horse in the back yard, this became an everyday occurrence, which only increased her efforts.

In addition to painting horses, she has turned her attention to other images of the west; Native Americans, working cowboys, bears and buffalo to name a few. Her style would be characterized as realistic with a slight abstract contemporary flair. She pays meticulous attention to conformation and detail, utilizing acrylic paints, texture, and a warm palette of earth tones.

Kimberly’s artwork has expanded over the years into an array of unique images. The reward for weeks of preparation and painting, is the reaction she gets from her many supporters and patrons towards each completed piece.

Her originals and prints can be viewed in a few select galleries and showrooms. Kimberly’s work is also displayed in private and corporate collections throughout the west. She paints year-round in her Colorado home studio where she lives with her husband Dave and her son Cameron who remain her biggest supporters and constant sources of inspiration.

Bill ChurChillBorn in Texas , Bill grew up in the hey-day of Western stars like Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. As a child, playing in the plains of the Panhandle, he expected to find old guns or saddles of dead outlaws behind every Sagebrush. He didn’t, instead he found a love of the Western way of life.

A tour of military duty in Korea and Japan, exposed him to the beauty of wood in architecture and sculp-ture. Beautifully carved sculpture and doors were

elaborate elements of the buildings. Here he found a love of wood and sculpture….and was impressed by it’s diversity of beauty.

A twenty year career as a General Build-ing and Engineering Contractor further enhanced his love of wood and architecture. Then, a chance encounter with a beautiful wood carving led to carving as a hobby. This opened his eyes and the light went on, so to speak. Always interested in art, this new hobby seemed to combine every aspect of his life’s influences; Western Art, Sculpture, and Wood.

Now, after more than twenty years as a wood sculptor, this love has turned to a relentless passion. Bill’s goal is to create wood sculpture that showcases the beauty of wood and tells our Western Americana story. This unique conceptual blend has resulted in twenty-four Best Of Show Awards, four People’s Choice Awards, and countless first place Blue Ribbons. And, participation in such prestigious art shows as the Masters Of The American West at the Autry Museum. From Gene Autry in parades to the Gene Autry Museum.

Gloria ChadwiCkGloria is a native San Diegan who’s love of horses and livestock required moving to the rural area of San Diego County in order to be surrounded by her favorite critters that were displaced by rezoning measures.

Although the children’s 4-H and FFA adventures are long gone, those memories remain useful painting material. Her favorite subjects are simple country pleasures, wildlife and landscapes painted in oil or acrylics.

She is an Emeritus signature member of Women Artists of the West, signature member Artists For Conservation, juried member Salmagundi Club and member of California Art Club, San Diego Museum of Art Artist Guild and board member of Olaf Wieghorst Museum.


Dennis Curry“While much of the art of the past has dealt with the glories and follies of humankind, I feel a need to portray nature for it’s own sake with the hope of promoting value and respect for our unique planet and the varied forms of life with which we share it”

My career as a professional artist began as a fine art printmaker in 1970 creating

works in various original print medium. For 37 years I celebrated nature in media such as silk screen, etching, engraving and Mylar lithography.

In 1982 I made my fist trip to East Africa to study the big cats and became captivated with the variety and abundance of the animals of the African savannah and co-founded Duma African Safaris with friend and publisher Christopher Law.

After ten years of concentrating my work on African Wildlife and printmaking I took up oil painting with an emphases on local landscape. I currently am a resident artist at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles where I maintain a gallery of my work, showing both my original graphics as well as my oil painting.

Dave DignamA native of California, Dave was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. After graduating from San Jose State University, Dave entered the printing industry where he owned and operated a printing firm in Northern California until 1998. In 2003 Dave moved to the California Central Coast.

Dave has always had a love for fine art and fine woodworking. After years of working with clay sculpting and building fine furniture as a hobby, in 1997 Dave merged both these passions into wood sculpting. Dave studied wood

sculpting under a few world class carvers to learn many different styles and techniques both in classical and contemporary carving. Dave developed his own unique style which blends the emotional character of the subject with the beauty of natural wood. Carving all types of subjects, Dave has specialized in human realistic figures.

Dave’s choice of wood for women and children is Basswood, Elm and Alder which all have beautiful finishing characteristics and shows very little grain. For western and animal art figures, Dave’s choice is Butternut, Catalpa, and Redwood which accents a heavy grain. Experimenting for years with finishes, stains, dyes and paints, Dave has developed many different formulas to enhance the individual pieces.

What sets each one of Dave’s pieces apart from other sculptures is that each piece is an original hand carved sculpture. These sculptures cannot be mechanically duplicated and must be hand carved, sanded and finished to achieve the fine detail. Depending on size, complexity and effect, each piece will take between 20 – 100 hours to complete. All designed pieces are original and sold in small limited editions.

Dave’s work can be viewed on his public facebook page at:

Mark DickinsonFrom his earliest memories, drawing and painting were as much a part of Mark Dickinson’s childhood development as anything else. Though he was born in Washington, D.C. and placed for adoption, his home soon became the “Cowboy State”. Mark moved to Worland, WY, to live with his new adoptive parents, Raymond and Virginia Dickinson, at 18 months of age.

Growing up in a Christian home, Mark is so thankful for the relationship he has with his savior, Jesus. Dickinson gives

God all the glory for his artistic talent.Always encouraged by his parents to pursue his talent in art, Mark attended

Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, CA with a concentration in Fine Art. After graduation, Mark moved to Orange County, and while working at Disney was encouraged to pursue a career in graphic arts. Mark soon became a print and interactive graphic designer in corporate and agency advertising. In the ensuing 22-year period, he has designed for both for-profit and not-for-profit sectors.

Dickinson has lived in California off and on since 1985. When he wasn’t living in California he was back in his home state of Wyoming. Mark and his wife Vicki have four children; Emily, Katie, Annie, and Roger. Mark enjoys learning, researching and drawing studies for his future works. His father, a 20th-century cowboy himself, shared stories of growing up near Shell, WY. Mark and his father love fly-fishing, and that too has influenced Mark’s deep interest in portraying the American West. His subjects include cowboys, cowboy lifestyle, wildlife and portraits.

“The Guiding Hand”

BoB CoronatoI moved to Hulett Wy. a town of about 383 people after graduating in 1993 with my BFA

from Otis Parsons Art Insitute in Los Angeles Ca. For the last 20 + years I’ve been living in Hulett Wyoming, (population 383 ) from branding time in the early spring, until gathering in the fall. I spend my winters in Arizona. where I live with my wife Lisa and our three kids Caden, Draker, and Aidia.

I paint the “West” from the point of view of someone who as a kid only dreamed of finding a place like Hulett.

I used to open books and look at photos of the “Old West”. I’d see cowboys riding the open plains and I wished I had lived 100 years ago. After going out to that very remote corner of our country, and working on ranches that still “Cowboy” in the “Old Ways”, I realized that the west I’d searched for as a kid was still there. The west is still alive, it’s just hiding in tiny corners of our

country, trying desperately to hang on and not be forgotten. My work documents this part of history in the making, in the very remote west of Wyoming.“Coronato was keen to chronicle the Cowboy culture accurately and took a job ranching as a result. Coronato’s the unofficial Leonardo Da Vinci of ranching life and an astute observer of the culture”

Ron is a member of the San Diego Watercolor Society as well as the international organization Artists for Conservation.

Ron loves to paint wildlife and spends countless hours pursuing animals throughout the west with a camera to obtain painting reference and then returning to his base in Jamul, California to create his artwork. He also likes to paint our personal animal companions with the desire to capture the essence of their personality. Western themes and sporting art are common threads reflecting Ron’s interests. Ron shows his work in art shows throughout the western states and is in private collections both nationally and internationally.

Jerry FarrenSelf taught artist, Jerry Farren was born in 1944 and raised in Santa Barbara, California. He attended local schools and graduated from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education. While at Cal Poly Jerry met and married his wife Joann. Together they have raised four children and now have four grandchildren. Having been raised in an “Old Mission” town Jerry’s interest in history and Native American culture developed at a young age. When his family moved to the country just outside of town it

was discovered that the family home was built on an old Chumash tribal campsite. This led to many visits to the museum and hours spent listening to tales of the past, told by local elders. Later while working as a Ranger for the U.S. Forest Service Jerry had the opportunity to explore many secluded ancient cave paintings and pictographs located in the Los Padres National Forest. Included were sites on former President Reagan’s Rancho del Cielo.

As an artist, these early experiences helped spark Jerry’s imagination and passion for both historic figures and native cultures which are now expressed in his art. His intense interest in history and attention to detail is shown through each of his sculptures. Jerry enjoys researching his subjects and tries to insure that each piece correctly reflects the given period of time. Respect of the subject is of great importance to Jerry.

At present I’m concentrating on people of Northern California where I now live. I don’t know of any other sculptors who use Native People of California as Art subjects. These people were real “earthy”, unpretentious people, unlike the Plains People with flamboyant regalia, quill and beadwork, so often portrayed in Western bronze sculptures. Having lived for thousands of year in California, they were the last Native People to make contact with Europeans; (Spanish, Russians and Americans)

Caly Garris In her quest to express the free spirit and energy of her animal subjects, Caly long ago abandoned traditional techniques. “I don’t like formulas” she states, “ I try to paint without really painting. Between the pigments and the paper there can be explosive reactivity....that’s what it’s all about for me!” Each painting is encouraged to take on a life of it’s own.

Caly pushes water “COLOR” to the limit in creating expressive paintings of horses, wildlife and domestic animals. Her use of flowing saturated color, balanced by structural integrity takes the viewer into new concepts of animal imagry.

If garnering awards is any indication, then Caly’s many “Best of Show” and “People’s Choice” awards would attest to her success. Having her images selected for numerous posters, for fairs, rodeos, art shows and fund raising events, is also an indicator. Her work is in galleries and shows in Montana, Oregon, California, Washington and New Mexico. It hangs in private and corporate collections across the globe. It also graces the covers of books and has been selected by licensing companies and artist’s representatives for inclusion in their stables of prominent artists.

SuSan EyEr-andErSonI was born in Los Angeles and raised in Tustin, Ca…Southern

California when it was more rural and full of the intoxicating scent of orange blossoms for a good part of the year.

My art education was more unconventional than most, in that I have had no formal training whatsoever (other than art classes in high school)….instead was raised by two artists that were Art Center graduates and taught me everything I know so far.

When I was a child, my father worked as a commercial artist in a very stressful and thankless environment during the week. He

would come home understandably moody and tired, and on the weekends would disappear into the garage for hours to seek solitude and solace. The garage was basically an art studio. I never saw a car in it, just the occasional lawnmower. He had fashioned an entire wall as an easel and would oil paint there for hours (mainly sea-scapes). My siblings would stay out of there, but I was fascinated by his painting and would sneak in there and watch him, knowing that he really did want his quiet, but I couldn’t help it. Once he realized that I wasn’t going anywhere, (and was keeping quiet), he would set up a small canvas and thus I started my education.

Obviously, I like realism, but the subject matter, composition, contrast etc. must speak out, must have soul or touch another person, or it is simply an exercise in rendering.

As I grew up and watched my parents struggle with commercial art deadlines and headaches, I chose a different path and became a veterinarian. I graduated from Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1990, and have been practicing ever since.

But I never stopped painting. Any art that I have done is in a variety

of places: private collection, RS Hannah Gallery, NOAPS On Line International Fall Exhibit, and local shows in Idyllwild , Anza, and Riverside County. One piece belonged to Ronald Reagan.

Western art, or anything else including horses, cowboys, vaqueros, buckaroos, western landscapes, mountains, and interesting people are what I have a passion for painting.

Kathy harderFor the last 15 years, California artist Kathy Harder has been fulfilling her dream as a land steward on her mountain ranch in the old oak forests of California. With the stabilization of her homestead, she has found “a return to source” in her artwork, a reconnection with her materials and a “spirit journey” with the animals she documents. Her subject matter has come from her strong link to the both the wonder and power of nature.

Her current mediums are the monotype, known as the most painterly method among printmaking techniques. Kathy gently

pulls depth and dimension into her subject by utilizing her own versatile method. The result is stunningly captured by the vibrant colors in her works detail. This “light field” of mixed media could be described as an attempt to demonstrate the “other worldly quality” that is sometimes present when “spirit” enters material form.

Kathy’s other method is an additive or rejective viscosity monotype process. The direct inking technique produces diversity in color in which the different viscosities of ink control the result. She then uses an oil paint overlay to enhance the colors and details of her subjects and bring out the “dimension” of the print.

In experiencing continued growth on her journey, Kathy is also painting on canvas and watercoloring where she feels even more freedom. She wishes to express to the viewer energy and atmosphere through palette knife and brush work. Kathy allows the painting to develop and evolve utilizing new color strategies.

Having studied art at Saddleback College of Mission Viejo for more than 20 years, her disciplines run the gamut from painting, drawing, photography, life painting, life drawing, printmaking, and ceramics. Kathy feels her purpose for being is to create visionary work that stimulate the mind and speaks to the soul.

Daniel HacHarDDaniel Hachard was born in France and grew up in Paris influenced by all major art movements, new wave cinema and western movies. His work is deeply rooted in the art form of popular comics of the 50s and 60s and strongly inspired by pop artists Warhol and Lichtenstein.

Early on he was drawn to illustrations and influenced by western comic book artists before discovering western artists Charles Russell and Frederic Remington.

After studies in international business and commercial art, he moved to New York to work in advertising design.

Moving to the West coast he worked as a creative art director for several international companies: Max Factor, Proctor & Gamble, Vidal Sassoon and Nestlé.

Following a hiatus from hands on creativity, he returned to the creative process and has so far focused his artwork on the subject of the American West.

His art has been described as innovative western inspired artwork rooted in the Pop Art movement. His medium is mostly ink, acrylic, and watercolor.

Creating art is about storytelling in a way that expresses oneself and how it is shared with others.

Jessica KongFor the lovers of wild places, wild things, and Western culture…

Jessica Kong’s art explores the symbiotic relationship between our beautiful landscapes, wildlife, and the Western ranching culture. She began drawing horses when she was four and never stopped, collecting numerous youth awards for her artwork. Through high school

and college, she rode colts and worked as a loper and wrangler for a number of cow horse trainers. After completing her degree in agricultural business from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, she continued to paint and ride professionally while working as a rodeo and ranching advocate where she had the opportunity to photograph stunning ranches throughout California.

The people, animals, and places she’s met along the way inspire Jessica’s paintings. Combining realism with abstraction to tell a story, she captures the mood and latent action of her subjects. Primarily working in watercolor, Jessica paints wet-in-wet and layers transparent glazes to bring subjects—that many people never have the privilege to experience firsthand— to life.

Vel MillerVel Miller has had an interesting life, Married

in Hawaii to Warren Miller, working at the Marine Corps exchange & having their first child there while Warren was in the Navy. On their arrival back home they fulfilled a promise and worked at the Walter Brennan ranch in Joseph Oregon. Warren managed Brennan’s 12,000 acre Cattle ranch while Vel cooked for six hired hands. On

their return to California with 2 kids and one on the way, Vel began her art career. She took a few lessons and ended up teaching 6 classes a week and taking 3 classes a week at the Art League where she then started teaching, by that time she had their forth child.

Her Ronald Reagan sculpture “Our American Legacy”is displayed at the Ronald Reagan Ranch Museum. Her eight foot monument Reward For Valor is in front of the Safety Center in Paso Robles.

Laurie PetkusLaurie’s childhood in Carmel Valley, where she rode horses and worked cattle, included significant exposure to the old ranching families and livestock traditions of early California. These ranches were part of the original Spanish Land Grants and were comprised of anywhere from a few thousand acres to almost ten thousand acres. From a young age, Laurie learned to appreciate the comradery of the ranching community and the

challenging, yet rewarding, work related to the ranching lifestyle. Along with this came the finesse of training stock horses with many dear friends which included Tom and Margaret Dorrance.

Ultimately, Laurie was guided into a unique niche: working in the food and wine industry; acting; raising cattle; training horses; painting. She has a herd of Black Angus cattle with numerous grazing leases along the Central California Coast.

Laurie is a member of the American Quarter Horse Association, National Reined Cow Horse Association, and Screen Actors Guild/Aftra. Recent Accomplishments:• Featured artist at the Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District’s (MPRPD) Discovery Center, Carmel, CA.• Commissioned by MPRPD to create ranching paintings and to assist in the development of the Discovery Center’s ranching exhibit. • Artist in Residency at the Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site in Ganado, Arizona.

Jamie meansBoredom is a four letter word to Alaskan born artist Jamie Means. It was the frustration of lying in a bed recovering from a near debilitating fall, resulting in a broken back, that caused Jamie to make a frame that he could use to fill in his time, by sketching the themes inspired by his cowboy lifestyle. Completely self taught, Jamie amazed people with the quality and attention to detail his graphite and colored pencil drawings projected.

When not working on his ranch in Red Bluff, breeding and training horses for cutting, reined cow horse and ranching, Jamie fills in his extra time at his home built studio, working on his latest art project.

Using family and friends as models, Jamie alternates between today’s modern ranching to the West of the 1800’s. It is incredible to see pencil work so vividly bringing to life, the details of these “snap” shots of daily ranch life.

Jamie Means work has come to the attention of prestigious art galleries and auctions, with a considerable following of collectors all over the country. Prestigious Auctions: C.M.

Barron PostmusA native Californian, Barron Postmus spent several years in Hawaii before returning to school at the Los Angeles Art Center. A tour in the army took him to Europe, where he served as an illustrator. After the service, he was hired as a technical illustrator by a

large aerospace firm. The next few years saw him promoted rapidly to graphics designer, and in 1968 Barron opened his own graphic design and illustration agency. Even then he was working for the day when oil painting would be his total profession, and in 1985 this became a reality. The results of his efforts can be seen today in fine art galleries throughout the country as well as in private and corporate collections, including Infonet of El Segundo, the Sears Tower in Chicago and in the VIP lounge of the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas.

Sarah PhiPPenColorado realist Sarah Phippen portrays the West with an understanding that comes from a deep love of the land, people and animals of the region in which she was born and raised. She grew up surrounded by livestock and wildlife at the base of the Rocky Mountains. “It is good to be alive in the

world. For me, every person and animal is an individual worth knowing, and every landscape someone’s home.” Sarah studied with prominent artists John Coleman for sculpting, and painters Jay Moore, Jim Norton, Daniel Sprick, Sandra Kaplan, and Anthony J. Ryder, each of whom deepened her understanding of oil painting, color and composition. She won an Award of Excellence from the American Academy of Equine Art in 2017, was a National Western Club Artist at the NWSS in 2016 and 2017, and was commissioned to sculpt a piece for their centennial celebrations by the Colorado Farm Bureau.

Denise RichA native of San Diego, Denise began painting in oil over twenty years ago, focusing since 2004 on cows and cattle. A 2006 commission for the California Milk Advisory Board to paint their famous Happy Cows of the Real California Milk campaign led to becoming The Official Happy Cow Artist, as seen on their website www.realcaliforniamilk.com.

“I am frequently asked two things, if I always wanted to be an artist, and why cows?

I don’t think an artist is created from desire, but an artist naturally has the desire to create. It’s what we do with that desire to create that makes our personal statement in the art world.

I was unexpectedly drawn to cows when I first viewed them as a subject for a painting. On that first visit with the local Holstein herd I realized they were not just a ‘herd’ of cattle, they were individuals with unique and completely charming personalities. That’s what I look for to paint, and most of my paintings of cows are close up portraits or some type of interaction. This is what moves me about them, and what I work to capture for the viewer to see and feel along with me.

Each one of the cows I paint is a real individual that I met in person, had eye contact with, perhaps talked to. I take that memory to the studio, working with buttery oils mixing pure pigments into real life colors, brushing that color onto a fresh, white canvas until it emerges as the soul of the individual, and that moment in that cow’s life will live on forever.

I can’t think of anything else I’d rather be doing”.

Sharlene raylI have always been thrown up on the back of a horse all of my life. But as a new direction in life, now I’m a complete rider of mules. There’s just something about a mule.

As a child horses have always been my favorite things to draw, as I grew into my teenage years, I started looking into the detail of an equines structure and the fine points and I thought of that detail is what can make my drawing stand out.

I am a self- taught artist and I have never taken a class in art. But I have taught myself ways to get better at my art.

My favorite thing to work with is graphite pencil. Even though it’s not color being laid down on a sheet of paper, it’s when every eye, hair, wrinkle and vein become your color, and that is where those little things become color a viewer’s eye.

Now cattle have become one of my favorite things to draw. The Old West just comes out in every cow every time I look at one. My drawing of “Fall Ballin’ Mamas” is one of my favorite pieces. This piece won first place at Sacramento Horse Expo Art Show in 2016 in the graphite division, along with a drawing of a very close friend’s Basset Hound, which won the Juried Art Show in Humboldt County Art Fair and won second place at the Sacramento State Horse Expo Art Show.

I have only started to sell my art in the past few years and I’ve never really thought about going anywhere with it, until a lady approached me one day and asked me if she could buy my drawing. Now I am looking forward to learning how to get into more and more art shows and someday to meet the artist I admire so much in the art world.

RobeRt PoweRsRobert enjoys painting figures from the Old West, particularly cowboys in their everyday life, from romancing a girl to bunkhouse chores. Always loving to draw, he studied painting at the Raleigh Institute of Contemporary Art and at Raleigh’s Art Space. Though he lives in the Blue Ridge

mountains of North Carolina, his travels West, horses, and an interest in the history of the West, led him to Western art.

Robert’s past shows include Western Trappings on the Plano, National Greeley Art Exhibition, the Best of the Blue Ridge, and the Shadow of the Hills show.

Robert equates painting to horsemanship, in that no matter how good you are, you’re never quite content at the level you are, but always striving to improve artistic skills just like horsemanship skills.

Rebecca RielOne of Rebecca’s greatest loves is to create worlds and bring them to life. As a Santa Barbara, California native, she grew up surrounded by both the grand vistas and intricacies of nature. Rebecca’s love of Natural Sciences led her to a career in traditional Scientific Illustration, and later as a Commercial Senior Artist and Illustrator – re-creating those worlds into immersive ones.

Her traditional art is a study in contrasts. Rebecca has a great love for the open expanses of the western sky -- to the minutia of insect patterns, intricate details of native wildflowers or the fine patterns of a Native American artifact. All these extremes have in

common a love of light and texture, drawing the viewer into the piece. Rebecca is very much drawn to the early California Impressionists, with their love of light, rich

colors that combine for a rich realism. Her traditional landscapes celebrate expansive vistas and the ephemeral nature of light. She strives to capture the brisk feeling of an incoming storm, the smell of far-away places in the wind, the rain in distant sage. She loves the quality and changing light that clouds bring, they add richness and depth to the horizon.

The rich and intricate history of art amongst the Native American Peoples has its inspiration in the deep appreciation and rich beauty of the world which surrounds them in their daily lives and throughout their long history.

This evolving body of work is a unique window into the natural sources of inspiration for traditional Native American art. Highly realistic still life “portraits” of Native American handcrafts and artifacts are combined with richly detailed and accurate illustrations of the native wildlife which inspired the hand of these talented Native artisans.

This series combines Rebecca’s years of experience as a professional illustrator with richly colored and highly researched naturalistic still life paintings. The unique nature of these pieces is that they are both extremely accurate “portraits” of animals and artifacts as well as being artistically pleasant still life paintings which stand on their own – whether or not one knows the history behind their creation.


Millie ShawMillie Shaw started painting as a child and had won her first blue ribbon by age 14. She paints a variety of subjects, although her main focus is animal art. She and her husband travel through the western United States photographing animals in national and wildlife parks, including Alaska. Millie paints almost entirely from her own photographs. Except for high school and college art classes, she considers herself self

taught, however, she has participated in workshops and private instructions from some of the country’s best western artists, including Robert Bateman, Dan Mieduch, Joni Falk, Greg Beecham, Phil Beck, Scott Burdick, Ed Aldrich and Chad Poppleton. She credits all of them for guiding her progress as an artist. She is a member of several art associations, including American Women Artists, Idyllwild Art Alliance, the California Art Club and the Palm Springs Art Center where she participates in weekly workshops. She also teaches occasional workshops in Mountain Center, California. She takes part in several local area art shows, as well as the American Miniatures Show at Settler’s West Galleries in Tucson, Arizona; the Phippen Museum Show in Prescott, Arizona; the San Dimas, California Wildlife Art Show, the Wieghorst Museum in El Cajon, California, Mountain Trails Gallery, Santa Fe, New Mexico, Trailside Galleries, Jackson, Wyoming, and the Southwest Art Show in Indio, California. The Shaws live on a small ranch in the San Jacinto Mountains of Southern California.

Rusty smithI am a self-taught artist. But I’ve always been involved in making pieces of art in my own way. I started out in heavy construction when I got out of the military service— becoming a general contractor and finish carpenter. My love for fine woodworking led me to making furniture, toys and musical instruments.

I later went to work for the California Dept. of Corrections as a vocational woodworking teacher. After my retirement, I continued to teach individual students

out of my home for awhile.After retiring again, we moved to Oregon where the long rainy days gave

me the free time to invest in something new. My son gave me a book on the American Indian and I was very impressed by the character shown on their faces. I started drawing Indians and soon became obsessed with getting my pictures to express the lives they led. I also love animals and enjoy showing their personalities in my drawings/paintings of them.

My work has been shown at the Mid State Fair where I’ve always got a 1st or 2nd in the categories I’ve entered. I’ve been a member of the Paso Robles Art Association and have shown my work at Studios on the Park.

I particularly love realism, spending many hours getting the eyes and expression just right—concentrating on textures—hair, fur, leather and skin.

Rosanne seitzRosanne Seitz grew up in California,

influenced by its agricultural roots. She was surrounded by fruit and nut orchards, crops of fragrant green alfafa, waving wheat and horse ranches. This fertile area has provided her with inspiration for her paintings of agricultural and rural California.

Marilyn SaloMonA pair of red cowboy boots that Marilyn received at age 5 ignited an innate love for the western way of life. An experience using pastels in her 5th grade class similarly kindled a passion for art. Drawing and painting took over her life even at that young age. Her desire to live in nature full time, ultimately led Marilyn and her husband to move from California to the Tonto National Forest in Arizona in 1999. Strong family ties pulled her to Northern California in 2013, to the Gold Rush country in the foothills of the Sierras. Here she is constantly inspired by the old west.

Marilyn Salomon has been an internationally known artist for over 48 years specializing in fine-art batiks, utilizing Western and Native American

motifs. She is the recipient of numerous awards and was voted one of the top fifty batik artists of all time at the World Batik Conference in 2005 at the Massachusetts Art Institute in Boston.

An acknowledged expert in her field, Marilyn uses a mix of traditional and modern batik techniques to portray the universal story that connects all of humanity. Her decades long friendship with Native Americans and working cowboys have enabled Marilyn to depict their traditions from an innate and deeply spiritual place.

Recognition of her innovative presentation and skill in her artwork has led to invitational exhibitions and lectures world wide. Her work is valued in major art collections the world over. One highlight of her career was in 2010, when she was invited to have a solo exhibition and lecture at the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Fort Worth, Texas. For five years, Marilyn was an invited artist at the prestigious Peppertree show, in Santa Ynez, California. In 2011, she was honored as one of two Americans out of 45 International Artists to exhibit in Fiber Face 4, Indonesia and again in 2015, Marilyn was invited as one of 40 International Batik Artists to exhibit in Fiber Face 5, Indonesia. Select awards include First Place twice, at the Phippen Art Museum Exhibition, Gold, Silver, Bronze and Best of Show Mixed Media at the San Dina’s Western Invitational art show, and purchase awards from three different cities. She has been featured in Southwest Art and Western Art Collector. Her work appears in prominent batik books, most recently, Peindre La Soie (France) by Cathy Boidard.

Marilyn has found that all of life’s lessons are contained with this illusion medium. My creations guide me as I guide them. Together, through this crazy dance of color and dreams, my life’s calling is revealed.

SuSan VonBorStelDon’t miss Susan’s newest oil paintings on natural stone! Using the patterns inherent in the individual piece of stone she develops and image much as a photo develops in a darkroom.

Susan started painting and drawing at a young age and went on to receive a BA degree from the University of Colorado in Zoology and Art.

Susan has completed over 250 commissions of horses and dogs and has sold even more works on stone. She discovered the beauty of natural stone on a riding trip to Spain and has been painting on it almost exclusively for the past ten years.After being chosen to illustrate the horse breeds for the multimillion dollar Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY, she went on to join the American Academy of Equine Art and won the People’s Choice award in an AAEA annual art show.

Laura TaLboTLaura Talbot is primarily a self-taught artist specializing in soft-pastel and more recently in oil. Drawing and painting animals and people has been her passion since a youth. Living in the High Sierra’s and working with livestock has spurred her interest in capturing the scenes and expressions around her. “Pastel is

a unique and beautiful medium, and painting on a sanded surface is both challenging and rewarding”. This year Laura decided to pick up a brush and paint in oils for the first time. “I love the medium and the ability to move it around, painting wet on wet”.

Laura and her husband Tom live in the Owen’s Valley, where they own and operate a cow calf ranch. Laura has twice been recognized as a featured artist for the cover of the Journal of American Veterinary Medicine and is an award winner in the highly competitive international Pastel 100. She is thankful for living in such a beautiful place, and blessed to be able to express some of that beauty through art.

Jim StuckenbergJim Stuckenberg was born in 1943 in St. Louis, Missouri; then in 1960 his family moved to Santa Barbara, California. Like many children, he grew up on a farm with horses, but Jim was also born deaf. However, this has never stood in his way. When he was just four years old, Jim learned to read lips and after high school, he graduated from Fresno State University with a B.S. in Animal Science. He loves to be around horses and livestock, so as a young man he decided to start riding bulls & broncos on the college rodeo team. To be competitive,

Jim arranged to have the clowns throw him signals so he would know when the eight seconds had passed. Jim was gifted with horses and began to doodle and dabble a bit with watercolors and pen & ink. When people saw Jim’s work, the response was always as it has been among his collectors, a universal, “I’d like to have that.”

Evan as Jim’s work became more and more sought after, he never neglected to spend time around the things that gave him the greatest inspiration his sons, Will, David and Daniel; and his horses. Many art critics realizing the rarity in Jim’s work suggested he set aside his love for horses and focus exclusively on his art career. However, Jim soon proved his merit in the horse world too as the owner and trainer of many champion horses. Jim’s horses have set multiple racetrack records, become AQHA Champions, NCHA futurity winners, and one horse, “Peanuts” even inducted into the Rodeo Hall of Fame.

The quality found in a Stuckenberg is unheard of and it shows, Jim has won or displayed at some of the most prestigious Western Art shows and Museums in the country. Jim won the Vaquero Artist of the Year 2018, at the Santa Ynez Vaquero Show.

Bettina WiseI am a local Atascadero gal and have been for over 45 years, I graduated from the Atascadero High School and was a team member of the Atascadero FFA program, winning a National award as a FFA Horse Judge in Tulsa Oklahoma many years ago. I always did enjoy art classes in school or with my friends. Now that my children are raised, I can concentrate on raising

Warmblood Sport Horses with my husband, I work for the County of SLO and have my licensed art business as Bettina Wise Art Designs. In my quiet time; I like to paint with Acrylic paints. I like the BOLD colors of acrylic and the dramatic outcomes. My style is crazy and often compared to Aborigine. The base out line of the horses I paint come from photos I take at horse shows, trail rides and my own horses in the pastures or arena. I use the base movement of the horse from a photo for my outline, then my imagination takes over for the rest of the color work. The majority of my work is done on a kitchen table and not in a studio, although I have access to a very nice studio. Art for me is a fun form of relaxation that I enjoy.

Valeria YostValeria is passionate about her artwork. She has done artwork since she was old enough to hold a pencil. She believes she was given a gift from her creator and she loves it.

She has been a professional artist for over 35 years. Her artwork has taken her from coast to coast. She has been a participant at the South Eastern Wildlife Art shows at Charleston, South Carolina; Fall Festival Shows with Wild Wings at Lake City, Minnesota; the Phippen Memorial Show at Prescott, Arizona; and the Celebration of Western Art at Puyallup, Washington.

Addicted to painting, acrylics are her favorite medium, but she also enjoys scratch board, pen and ink, and watercolors.

The wildlife she paints surrounds her mountain home. She can watch the elk from her kitchen window. Whitetail deer, turkeys, quail and blue birds visit her yard frequently. Bear, cougars, and wolves run the canyon nearby.

As a self-taught artist, Valeria took workshops with Cowboy Artists of America, Terry Isacc, John Seerey-Lester and Robert Bateman. She now shows with her mentors.

In 2000, Valeria became a member of the artists with the publisher Wild Wings. They handle the licensing of her work from prints to other products such as greeting cards, fabric, calendars, puzzles, images on clocks and more. Many of her images are also used internationally. Because she is an outdoor woman, hunter, and fisherwoman, sporting and conservation groups use her work regularly. ATK, Browning, Winchester, Remington, and Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation to name a few. Leanin Tree has used images on cards for 15 years. The late Dick Cabella was one of her collectors.

She has won numerous awards, and she also enjoys doing an occasional workshop.

She invites viewers of her work to step in to her paintings and experience nature thru her eyes and soul.
