Loren Entz

BORN IN

Kansas

KNOWN FOR

Contemporary western ranch genre, figure painting

Whereas many Western artists focus on either the more adventurous aspects of the historical West or contemporary ranch life, Loren Entz paints the quieter, more domestic side of rural living.  His paintings often depict the simple moments that make up the fabric of everyday life such as mothers with their children, or a father holding an infant at the end of the hard day’s work.

Raised in a Kansas farming community outside of Newton, and living with his family in Billings, Montana after living in Wyoming, Loren Entz finds inspiration and beauty in people and domestic animals that live close to the land, especially Indians, horses, pioneer women and children.
