Dwayne  Brech

Born in 1946 in southern Minnesota, Dwayne moved to Colorodo in 1971 to work for Western Horseman Magazine. After a fulfilling 27-year career as illustrator/art director, he left the magazine to devote his time and energy to painting. In 1998 he had the privilege of being one of three judges for the annual Cowboy Artists of America show. Interaction with horsemen of every influence from amateur to professional has allowed him to thoroughly research the horse world. He enjoys pack trips, trail rides, visiting ranches, and though not a “cowboy,” he has a passion for portraying the cowboy life and life in the West.
