Grant Redden

Grant Redden lives and paints in southwestern Wyoming in the small town of Hilliard. Growing up working sheep and cattle on his father's ranch in Evanston, Grant is familiar with the hard yet rewarding rural life of the American West, which contributes to his work ethic and drive to make a living as a professional artist. He has been a full-time painter for nine years now and has found great success. Art critic, Susan Hallsten McGarry writes: "Grant Redden is one of those painters who has taken Monet's admonition that you don't draw the elements in nature, you see them as patches of color, darkened or lightened by the amount of light falling on them. Grant takes his oils into the landscape where he sets himself up to evaluate every subtlety and nuance that presents itself to him. He endeavors to freeze a moment in time in judicious paint strokes that follow the forms he translates."
