Jim Rey
|
|
Having grown up in a ranching family, Jim Rey naturally loves working
with horses and cattle. His eyes light up when he talks about training
his Border Collie or a particularly wary horse, the days he has spent
gathering cows in the high country or following a herd of wild horses.
Jim's paintings tell the story of cowboys as living remnants of a bygone era.
The stories he paints are both his own and those of the people and places
he knows and loves.
Mr. Rey's work is collected nationally and internationally. His art has
been exhibited in the Fredric Remington Museum in New York, as well as
in many noted shows and exhibitions. His paintings have been used by Bantam
Books and Encyclopaedia Britannica. Articles have been published in magazines
including Southwest Art, Art Of The West, Artists Of The Rockies and
International Fine Art Magazine. His work has also been featured in such
newspapers as The Denver Post, The Rocky Mountain News, The Durango Herald,
The Vail Times and The Aspen Times.
Jim and his wife, Sharon, have recently moved from Southwest Colorado
to a farm in the sandhills north of Mitchell, Nebraska, in search of
wide open spaces and fewer people. The open plains to the south and east,
the Rocky Mountains to the west and the cattle ranges to the north are
inspiration for his paintings of life in the American West.
