Douglas Wodark

“My passion for art was once afforded only the time of a treasured hobby.  In 1988, I took a one-year sabbatical to travel the world.  I returned realizing that I live in one of the greatest countries on earth with almost unlimited opportunity and I determined to live my life more fully by doing what I really loved-creating art!

“Now, nearly 20 years later, my work centers on an update of the iconic image of cowboys and Native Americans as well as animals in a more contemporary light.  A simple, atmospheric background, layered with ghost images and a solvent based patina mottling is overlaid by a single, closely cropped silhouette.

“Cowboys and Indians fascinated me as a little boy, and I guess I haven’t grown up that much as they still do.

“I live in Castle Rock, Colorado with my wife, Heidi, and two children.  My work can be found at various galleries throughout the West.”
