James Bama’s renowned artwork spins stories of the West through the faces and clothing of its inhabitants. Bama paints detailed, highly realistic likenesses of cowboys, Native Americans and other contemporary Westerners who uphold the frontier's traditions. Bama originally lived in the Northeast, creating artwork for the New York Giants, the Baseball and Football Halls of Fame, the U.S. Air Force and the “Saturday Evening Post.” Fascinated by the West, he relocated to Wyoming to accurately depict the region's people and culture. Bama has presented exhibitions throughout the West, and was inducted into the Illustrators Hall of Fame in 2002.
