Cheever, Bruce

Interested in art as a child, Bruce Cheever embarked on a career as a fine artist after spending many years as an illustrator. It was during those years that he discovered his affinity for tonalism, luminism, and realism. Cheever’s atmospheric and bucolic landscapes are suggestive of the Renaissance era. His passion for the landscape is driven by a never-ending search for beauty.

Cheever’s studio paintings take shape from the inspiration he gathers from his travels. Whether painting a rural scene in the American West or a pastoral European landscape, he has developed a painting style that is uniquely his own. Born in 1958, this Utah artist points to his education at Brigham Young University and a professional career as an illustrator as his prime training ground in both observation and discipline. Cheever has had the opportunity to travel to many parts of the world to capture the beauty of the landscape in his paintings. His love of the Western American landscape, figurative work, and still life has been a hallmark of his success.
