Howard Terpning is one of the most collected painters of our time and, quite simply, a national treasure. His ability to convey the heritage and culture of Native Americans through the strength and beauty of his paintings gives his fine art both personal meaning and objective worth.

Our Theme of the Month for October is Western and Native American Art. We have a great selection of Western art including cowboys, cowgirls, horses and many Native American canvases and prints. Our custom frames really set these pieces off, further portraying the western theme.

This month we feature the works of Chris Owen and Howard Terpning.
