Mike Cardwell Fine Art Gallery

From the river valleys of mountain plateaus to the brilliant play of light in snowy shadows to the crystal-blue skies of the American West, these Oil Paintings capture the life and intensity of the high country landscape. Featuring focused studies and sweeping vistas from Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico, they illuminate that particular awe that has struck the heart of adventurers and travelers to the region for centuries. Whether it's a meditative scene at the bank of an alpine lake or an expansive gaze upon a high mountain meadow flanked by rocky cliffs, these scenes capture in a heartbeat the essence of the Rocky Mountains.
Mike Cardwell has lived his life in the Rocky Mountain West. Born and raised in Montana, he moved to Colorado in 1973 and has worked as an award-winning artist, illustrator and graphic designer for 35 years. His Oil Paintings are done in oil and Pastels and are available as Giclee Prints or original.
