SELECTED SOLD WORKS:

George G. Redden grew up in the rural area of southwestern Wyoming. Throughout his youth he frequented the outdoors on the family ranch, as well as hunting and fishing on the summer mountain range. The mountains, and the agricultural lifestyle that persists in the west, is both a heritage left by his ancestors as well as a major part of George's personal life. 

Creativity was another dominant element of his youth. He grew up watching his dad, Grant Redden, painting and drawing full time to support the family. George showed similar interests, and has been drawing ever since he can remember. 

After a college degree in wildlife, George took a conservation job while also starting a serious mentorship in the arts under his dad. This was facilitated by other great artists, including Albin Veselka, Michael Malm, and Josh Clare. George studied hard and was drawn to both western themes and figurative work, a paring that would greatly influence his Native American paintings. He was also particularly inspired by the works of artists during the Golden Age of Illustration, including Dean Cornwell, NC Wyeth, and JC Leyendecker. 

George’s work, especially his Native American paintings, emphasizes the beauty of the human body in harmony, and sometimes in opposition, with the natural world of the American west. He is inspired by the divine design of the human form, as well by his deep feelings of connection to the natural world. He employs gesture, anatomy, and design to convey these feelings in his work.

George currently lives in Lyman, Wyoming with his wife and four kids where they continue to enjoy the natural world and creativity together.
