Stories of the West’s hardships are powerfully conveyed through a cowboy’s defiant stare, weathered face and rugged clothing in James Bama’s “The Teamster.” Bama is one of the most acclaimed Western artists, painting the men and women who maintained the frontier's traditions. Originally from the Northeast, Bama created artwork for the New York Giants, the Baseball and Football Halls of Fame, the U.S. Air Force and the “Saturday Evening Post.” Captivated by the West, he moved to Wyoming to accurately portray cowboys, Native Americans and their culture. Bama has exhibited extensively throughout the West, and was inducted into the Illustrators Hall of Fame in 2002.
