Chuck Middlekauff

History

Starting off my art career in 1971, I spent a year in drafting school at what was then Durham's Business College in Austin, Texas. And I spent a few years as a draftsman at CF&I Steel in Denver, Colorado. When someone there asked what I intended to do with my career, I went to Metropolitan State College (now University) in Denver, graduating with a Fine Arts Degree. Thinking nobody makes a living from fine art, I signed up at Colorado Institute of Art in Denver. After graduating with honors, I worked in advertising design in Denver and LA for 4 years until, tired of the commercial art business, I decided to try my hand as a professional artist. Starting in 1992, I've been represented by some of the most professional and prestigious galleries in the U.S., including those that represent me now: Mountain Trails Galleries in Park City, Utah and Jackson Hole, Wyoming, by Sorrel Sky Galleries in Durango, Colorado and Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Davis & Blevins Gallery in Saint Jo, Texas.

Specialties

I'm Chuck Middlekauff, an internationally known and collected artist from Austin, Texas. I have fun painting. Because of that, my original American and Western Pop Art paintings make others smile, too. I hope they make you smile. Collectors purchase my paintings right online from my studio or directly from the galleries that represent me. I'll ship the studio paintings to locations in the continental U.S. for free.
