About the Artist

Artist Bio

Bud is a self-taught artist whose representational oils focus principally on western subjects.  These include landscapes, wildlife, ranch animals and figurative subjects.  This emphasis reflects a life-long interest in the region and can be summed up by the view "There is no other place like The Great American West."

His work has been included in numerous local and national juried exhibits, including the Grand National Stock Show, San Francisco, CA, Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum, Cheyenne, WY, Phippen Museum Western Art Show and Sale, Prescott, AZ, Mountain Oyster Club Art Show, Tucson, AZ, Aspen and Beaver Creek, CO Fine Art Festivals and Arts for the Parks, Jackson, WY, where his paintings were selected for several "Top 200" and "Mini 100" award categories.

Generally, Bud declines to interpret or comment in detail on his work.  He rests on the belief that each piece stands on its own, and reserves final judgment for the viewer.
