ABOUT THE ARTIST:

THOM ROSS

ALTAMIRA FINE ART JACKSON connect@altamiraart.com

Thom Ross was born in San Francisco, California in 1952, and raised in Sausalito. He earned a degree in fine arts from California State University Chico, in 1974.

Ross’ goal as an artist is to portray iconic American figures and events in new ways in order to bring out a more complex story than the traditional historical myths. Ross works in various media including paintings, book illustrations, and installation artwork with life-sized recreations of historical scenes.

Ross’ paintings are in private and public collections throughout the United States. He is the author and illustrator of the book, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Words and Pictures. In 2002, Ross illustrated the 100th anniversary edition of The Virginian by Owen Wister. He currently lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

TRAVIS WALKER

ALTAMIRA FINE ART JACKSON connect@altamiraart.com

Travis Walker is a contemporary artist whose work has appeared in The Guardian, Forbes, Southwest Art, Mountain Living, Images West, Range, Greenwich Living, Jackson Hole Magazine, and Painters of Grand Teton National Park. Travis is the founder of the nonprofit Teton Artlab, an artist residency program based in the Greater Yellowstone area. He studied Painting and Printmaking at Virginia Commonwealth University and the Tyler School of Art. For the last ten years, Travis Walker has made landscape paintings about Jackson Hole, a place that never ceases to inspire him to pick up his brushes.

He works on location, capturing the essence of the seemingly mundane scenes around town: a morning on the Elk Refuge, a decaying house with a fence made of skis or a vintage trailer park. His work is influenced by the work of American regionalists Edward Hopper and Grant Wood, Japanese printmaking, and German Expressionism.

THOM ROSS

“As an artist, I look deeply into myths.

Why does Custer’s Last Stand matter?

Why are they still making movies about the Alamo and Billy the Kid and Wyatt Earp? We project our emotions through these figures, and there’s something really wonderful about that.” ~Thom Ross

“A common subject in my work is the road, which represents our journey through life.

We start off staring down the lines of a road, and our entire lives we continue to follow the road to new places. �
