Roy Bauman

Hold onto your hats, because I'm about to paint with words and it might just get cringingly descriptive! I thought so!

Welcome to roybauman.com, where you can explore my ever-evolving portfolio. 

I’m Roy, a hometown artist from Missouri, inspired by the subtle beauty of nature and the American West. Through my work, I share these inspirations, offering extraordinary perspectives that illuminate our world.

 

 

 

In my home studio, I create paintings that capture the vast, rugged landscapes of the West. Drawing inspiration from cowboys, settlers, and pioneers, my artwork reflects their resilient spirits—individuals who made the most of their environments and transformed adversity into opportunity. You can also sometimes find vibrant wildlife in my paintings that deepen the narrative of each piece.

Photography, particularly with my Canon 5D Mark IV, is crucial to my artistic approach. It allows me to capture the stunning beauty of fleeting moments and blend historical with contemporary elements. These photographs lay the groundwork for my artwork, merging different eras to create stories that are richer and more detailed.

For me, art is more than simple decoration—it sparks conversations, brightens environments, and evokes nostalgia for simpler times. It’s about capturing brief, beautiful moments and preserving them on canvas, inviting viewers to step into a distinct, indescribable scene.

Beyond the canvas, I lead a dynamic online community tailored for emerging artists. Here, we sharpen our skills, exchange practical techniques, and tackle the business side of art—a necessary but often overlooked aspect of an artist's career. This community is a supportive space where we use shared successes to help each member advance their career.

Members of our community develop their technical skills to create art that resonates with viewers and also learn how to manage their reputation and marketability.

Thanks for stopping by! I invite you to explore my portfolio and, if you're an artist or aspiring to be one, consider joining our community.
