Steve Boaldin

Steve Boaldin is a cowboy artist, star, and show-runner of the nationwide PBS show "Art of a Cowboy", which takes Steve on a journey to different ranches across the nation so he can get inspiration for his art. His life story has been portrayed through the documentary feature film by the same name. Growing up on a farm and ranch in southwest Kansas, Steve is no stranger to the subjects he depicts. As working cattle, rodeoing, and breaking horses were his favorite aspects of farm life, these are the subjects that he chooses to depict through his art. Steve worked as a commercial artist, and illustrator for 30 years while selling his paintings on the side, and now works as a full-time professional fine artist. Over the past few years, Steve has studied with Martin Grelle, Bruce Green, George Hallmark, and Tony Eubanks; their work and that of other western artists have greatly influenced him.
