James Reaves

As a child, James Reaves was mesmerized by the allure of the American west, inspired by the iconic television show, Rawhide. Spending countless hours on a rocking horse, he would ride off into imaginary sunsets, yearning for the adventurous days of the past. This nostalgia for the "wild and woolly" west has left a lasting impression on his heart, driving him to express his emotions through his art. With each brush stroke, he transports himself back to a time of spurs jingling, gun shots whistling, and Bronco busting, capturing the essence of "The Wild West" in his vibrant paintings and pastels.

Reaves' contemporary compositions of Cowboys, Indians, and Bronc riders aim to encapsulate the dynamic and thrilling action of the west, using bold colors to emphasize the vitality of the scenes. Through his artwork, he invites viewers to join him in rediscovering and reinterpreting the rich history of the American frontier. In addition to his western-themed pieces, Reaves also explores various other sources of inspiration, allowing his creativity to flourish in diverse ways.
