Don Stinson’s panoramic oil paintings explore the physical and cultural geographies of the American West. His encompassing views reveal much about shared myths of the West, the lasting impact and evolving shape of  energy landscapes, notions of progress, individual creativity, and America’s beautiful, if often deeply flawed, relationship with its own lands.

Stinson received his B.F.A. from Colorado State University and his M.F.A. from Tufts University/School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.His work is placed in the collections of the Phoenix Art Museum, the Denver Art Museum, The Whitney Collection of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, and The Autry Museum of the American West.
