This fine artist from Colorado has a long fascination with the history and lore of the Nez Perce Indians – expert horsemen with a sophisticated knowledge of breeding who are credited with developing the Appaloosa. Using a distinctive artistic style that combines bold colors with geometric shapes, circles, triangles and arrows that connect his design to the title – a horizon line encircles the horse, grass and trees, canyons and rivers are rendered in an abstract way – he breathes new life and excitement into his stylized interpretation of a breed of horse known for its unique color and variety of spots.
Bob lives in Ft. Collins, Colorado. The original Masterwork "Prairie Horizon" was a finalist in the Native Art of Horse Painting national competition. He is also the artist behind "Mosaic Appaloosa," a retired figurine.
