Cover Artist


Chad Poppleton This month’s RMR


cover artist is Chad Poppleton, who lives in Utah’s Cache Valley. His interest in art was encouraged by his father, also an artist, who taught him to draw and to look


at things through an artist’s eye. His first subjects were those that he became familiar with while working with his grandfather on the farm and ranch. Chad’s paintings are a reflection of his love for animals and the outdoors. He loves to hunt, fish and explore on horseback the mountains that he lives in, and to view wildlife in a natural environment. He often takes his sketch pad and paints with him to help capture what he sees, and to lend character and personality to the wildlife in his canvases. Chad is a graduate in Fine Art/Illustration from Utah State


University under the direction of Glen Edwards. He continues his artistic education through workshops and critiques of other accomplished artists. Original works in oil and prints are available directly


from the artist or at several fine galleries in the West. See his work at www.chadpoppleton.com.
