About the Artist
Inspired by the sagebrush and wide open horizons of Wyoming and Montana, Clyde Aspevig is a landscape painter who sketches on location and finishes the work in his studio. His obvious talent has won him prestigious recognition including the Frederic Remington Award and the Robert M. Lougheed Memorial Award, both from the National Cowboy Hall of Fame. He is a member of the Northwest Rendezvous Group, and is the first Montana artist since Charlie Russell to exhibit at Grand Central Galleries in New York City.

He was born in Rudyard, Montana, and raised on a small working wheat farm near the Canadian border. He currently lives with his wife, artist Carol Guzman, in Loveland, Colorado where he remodeled a historic church for his studio.

Of his feelings about nature, he says: “Paintings are a spiritual communion with nature which results in my celebration of life. Toward this end, I yearn for country that has not been tainted by subdivision, power poles, billboards, and water slides. I choose to paint my pictures as if I, or the viewer, were the first person to set foot upon the landscape”.
