I am delighted that Art Link Index has established a dealership featuring western artist Chris Owen.  I have secondary and current market works available at www.artlinkindex.com.  

Chris Owen was born in Billings, Montana. During the summertime he spent his time on his grandparents ranch in the Judith Basin which inspired his love of the western way of life. He studied fine art at Montana State University and was awarded a scholarship to study at the Art Center College of Design, Los Angeles. The paintings of Chris Owen portray the spirit and substance of the American cowboy depicting the human and horse figures with an authentic personal and subjective approach. Owen stated, "The cowboy endures as the foremost American icon. He is the most compelling of characters and due to his romantic lifestyle and unique personality a natural subject of artistic interest. His ongoing endurance as the premier American cultural hero stands as testament to the spirit and values that have made the people of the West great." Chris Owen portrays the working cowboy themes as authentic, operating ranch activities. He once painted predominantly with gouache, but now paints with oils as well. He shows at the Coors Western Art Exhibit in Denver, Colorado and was their official poster artist in 2003. He also shows at the Cheyenne Frontier Days, Governor's Invitational Art Show where he has won the "Museum Purchase" and "Limited Edition Print Artist" awards. His painting "A Cowboy's Morning" won the international "Benny Award" for the finest giclee in 2006.

Best price offer is available on secondary market works.  Combined shipping is available.
