Cheever, Bruce

Bruce Cheever
Born 1958 in Utah; lives in Woodland Hills, Utah

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 and luminism. Cheever’s atmospheric and bucolic landscapes are suggestive of the Renaissance period, and his passion for the landscape is driven by his never-ending search for beauty.

Cheever has had the opportunity to travel to many parts of the world, capturing the beauty of the landscape in his paintings. Today, his studio paintings take shape from the inspiration he gathers from those travels. Whether painting a rural scene in the American West or a pastoral European landscape, his unique painting style is emerging.

This Utah artist credits both his education at Brigham Young University and his professional career as an illustrator as prime training ground in both observation and discipline. His love of the Western American landscape, figurative work, and still life, has been a hallmark of his success.
