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 then that he discovered his affinity for tonalism and luminism. Bruce’s atmospheric and bucolic landscapes are suggestive of the Renaissance era. His passion for the landscape is driven by the never-ending search for beauty.
Today, Bruce’s studio paintings take shape from the inspiration from his travels. Whether painting a rural scene in the American West or a pastoral European landscape, his painting style has a uniqueness of its own. This Utah artist credits his education at Brigham Young University and a professional career as an illustrator as prime training ground in both observation and discipline. Bruce has had the opportunity to travel to many parts of the world, capturing the beauty of the landscape in his paintings.
Bruce exhibits at many invitational shows, including showcases with Trailside Galleries and exhibitions with Settlers West Gallery. Cheever has been honored to exhibit with the Masters of the American West, Autry Museum, Los Angeles California, Arts for the Parks, where he was included in the top 100 winners. Bruce also exhibits at the Jackson Hole Art Auction; Altermann Galleries Art Auction; Gilcrease Museum, Tulsa, Oklahoma; CM Russell Museum, Great Falls, Montana; Haley Memorial Library, Midland, Texas; Mountain Oyster Club, Tucson, Arizona; Night of the Artists, Briscoe Museum, San Antonio, Texas; and Quest for the West, Eiteljorg Museum, Indianapolis, Indiana. His work has been featured in Art of the West, Southwest Art, American Art Collector and Western Art Collector.
