Collection: Redden, Grant

Grant Redden was born and raised in southwest Wyoming on a sheep and cattle ranch.  The work, always a family affair, instilled in Grant a love for the landscape, the animals, and the people of the west.  Horses were an integral part of the operation including camp horses, pack strings in the summer, and work horses to pull camps and feed the livestock in heavy winters.  Naturally, they are a major part of his art. Grant believes these animals have their own personalities and characteristics which reveal themselves and hopefully are portrayed in his paintings.   

 Born of pioneer stock, he developed a strong attachment to the land and the life and an interest in the history of the west.  With a native instinct for creativity, Grant sees beauty in the everyday activities and simple elements of western life.  He is dedicated to the study of the great masters in painting and sculpture.  Almost equal to the subject matter in importance is the craft of painting - beauty in design, color, texture, and emotional impact.   

 Inducted into the Cowboy Artists of America in 2012, Grant has since been awarded 6 Gold medals and 2 Silver medals in oil painting, a Silver in Watercolor Painting, the Ann Marion Best of Show in 2017, and three time winner of the award for best group of paintings voted by the artists at the annual CAA show. Grant has been included in the Prix de West Invitational Art Exhibition and Sale since 2022.  He was awarded the Wilson Hurley Memorial Award for Outstanding Landscape in 2024. 

 Grant and his wife Annette raised 8 children on a small patch of sagebrush and aspen groves in southwest Wyoming.  Grant is continuing his education in art and living.  "Just trying to get better."
