Michael Ome Untiedt
Many of my paintings have the look and feel of the American West…that is because the West is the place where I was born and raised. I know the rattle of cottonwoods on a cold fall morning, the hue of dusk’s long light on a buffalo grass prairie; I have drank the cold drip of a blue shale spring. These things have nurtured me from my birth, and coyotes, God’s Dogs, have howled their essence into my soul.
Born and raised in rural southeastern Colorado, Michael Ome Untiedt maintains a studio in Denver. Traveling extensively, he is known as a painter of the world who sees with a westerner’s eye. Through the color, brush strokes, and symbolic subject matter of his paintings, he attempts to examine the human predicament and its connections to the landscape and history of the American West. He is driven to portray twenty first century psychology on a nineteenth century saddle!
