Sculptor Scott Rogers tries to put a little bit of his soul into each sculpture he creates. "Art should be about a relationship,” he says. “I transfer an idea into clay, and buyers have a relationship with it and—through that—with me,” he says.

Teresa Elliott’s studio overlooks the Que Dice Ranch with 10,000 open acres of hills, buttes, and desert plants. Cattle often wander through the vista, so it’s not surprising that Elliott has made them her subject matter ever since she pivoted away from graphic design, copywriting, and illustration and into a full-time career as a fine artist.

“Growing up in rural Minnesota, I would get up at five in the morning and go out in the woods and sketch, which was a little unusual, but I really enjoyed it,” Jason Lee Tako says of his routine in his hometown of Faribault, Minnesota. “I really liked the solitude. There were wetlands, a lot of woodland areas and lakes.”

Anything nature set before him, Tako sketched: animals, plants, the changing sky. He wasn’t yet painting—that would come later—but he was honing his ability to capture the essence of objects and to compose eye-catching pictures.

Learn more about Tako and his work in the November/December Issue of Art of the West.

When you ask Kathryn Ashcroft to describe her art she may say, “if you want to get a technical term for it, it’s probably abstract realism, because you can tell what it is, but it is its own thing,” she says. “Chunky is the only way I can think of to describe it.”

Kathryn Ashcroft-The Art of Nature's "chunky" wildlife painting make an impact with their bright colors and bold subjects. Learn more about her work and her career in the November/December issue of Art of the West.
