Jim Rey
Having grown up
in a ranching family, Jim Rey naturally loves working with horses and cattle.
His eyes light up when he talks about training his Border Collie or a
particularly wary horse, the days he has spent gathering cows in the high
country or following a herd of wild horses. Jim's paintings tell the story of
cowboys as living remnants of a bygone era. The stories he paints are both his
own and those of the people and places he knows and loves.
Mr. Rey's work is collected nationally and internationally. His art has been
exhibited in the Fredric Remington Museum in New York, as well as in many noted
shows and exhibitions. His paintings have been used by Bantam Books and
Encyclopaedia Britannica. Articles have been published in magazines including
Southwest Art, Art Of The West, Artists Of The Rockies and International Fine
Art Magazine. His work has also been featured in such newspapers as The Denver
Post, The Rocky Mountain News, The Durango Herald, The Vail Times and The Aspen
Times.
Jim and his wife, Sharon, have recently moved from Southwest Colorado to a farm
in the sandhills north of Mitchell, Nebraska, in search of wide open spaces and
fewer people. The open plains to the south and east, the Rocky Mountains to the
west and the cattle ranges to the north are inspiration for his paintings of
life in the American West.
