WAOW Artistry of the West
The WAOW Artistry is slowly being built to provide a page on our site to promote each artist. This project began late summer 2024. We have over 300 members to load here on their pages. You can search by name, location or by subject matter to find an artist.
Julie Frothingham . Kansas . waow
It was on the prairies of Minnesota that I learned to observe and listen. The song “Country Sunshine” says it nicely. I am forever a child of God; a student of life.
I believe everyone is an artist. Art is life. We can't help but share life all around us daily. We each have a gift and a personal choice as to how we express it, feel it, use it, and thus, live it.
Kathy Soliday . Oklahoma . waow
Painting is a true passion for Kathy, and she cherishes the time spent photographing in nature and bringing those moments to life in her home studio in Oklahoma.
Elise Mahaffie . Wyoming . waow
Being a graphic designer for a good part of her life has definitely influenced the way Elise interprets shapes and how she see things. Elise loves bold marks, strong colors, and unique, simplistic compositions. She believes this gives the viewer a feeling of easy discovery and controlled focus on the smaller details. Resides in Jackson, WY USA
Amber Scally . Montana . waow
Raised in Wyoming and living in Montana, Amber is at home in nature and enjoys capturing and drawing detailed, realistic works of art depicting the beauty of nature and ranch life. "Drawing the beauty of the West" Montana/USA
Brenda Morgan . Arkansas
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.
