Walter Piehl Retrospective: 1962 – 2018

As the saying goes, this isn’t Walter Piehl’s first rodeo. For over 50 years, Walter has been an artist, mentor and teacher. He is an aficionado of history and art with a lifelong passion for Western Americana that stems from his upbringing in a ranching family that rode horses, raised stock and participated in rodeos. His paintings demonstrate a unique blend of Western and contemporary artistic styles.

Piehl states, “I want [my paintings] to look like they were done in a frenzy of activity and that the paint was applied with great energy… I will always be a painter of Western Americana. The horse culture and the ranching culture were always so important to me–part of my everyday life.
