mejo okon contemporary western art
Cloudless skies. Intense sun. Extraordinary heat. This is the West Texas
where I live and the home of cowboys, horses and cows. I am drawn
to the details of today’s working cowboy and the livestock they manage.
I travel to local ranches and small rodeos for inspiration. Bold graphic colors
speak to me in depicting the modern cowboys and their everyday lives.
