Brenda Morgan works from her studio in Dardanelle, Arkansas.

She has always gravitated toward the western genre and artists such as James Bama and Carl Brenders inspired her to paint realism. Having a love of equine subjects, adding cowboys, cowgirls and Indigenous Americans seemed a natural progression.

Vicki Pedersen has a life-long passion for art.  She feels so fortunate that she is living the dream -- painting what she loves.  She focuses mostly on painting the American West -- cowboys and cowgirls, Native Americans, and the beautiful landscapes of deserts, mountains, and everything in between.  She works primarily in oils but also loves to work in graphite and charcoal.  Traveling throughout the west enables her to paint from life and take the photos she uses as reference for her paintings. The West offers an endless source of inspiration for her work. Its people and landscapes are what make western art both timeless and compelling.
