About the Artist

Painting the Legacy of the American West

STEVEN LANG (b.1960)
As a young boy, Steven Lang spent many hours in a bookstore visiting the pictorial history of Frederic Remington by Harold McCracken. He dreamed early on that someday he would become an accomplished painter of fine western art.

Art of the West Magazine March/April 2002 entitled an article on Lang as “Visual Memories”, detailing his hands-on experience at period re-enactments. Furthermore, being of Pawnee and Cherokee descent, he puts a natural emphasis on the Native American as subject matter.

Southwest Art Magazine April 2000 featured Lang as “The Story Teller”, filling his canvas with spellbinding tales of the Old West and captivating his audience with story lines that give accurate description of historical facts to his paintings.

Beginning his fine arts career in 1997, he has received national recognition with Awards of Excellence from Oil Painters of America; Best of Show/Oil, WAA Ellensburg, WA; the George Phippen Family Award, Prescott, Az; Gold Medal/Oil, San Dimas, CA and more.

Lang is a Master Signature Member of OPA and a full artist member of the California Art Club. His work is exhibited in the permanent collections at the Favell Museum in Klamath Falls, Oregon and the Mountain Oyster Club in Tucson, Arizona, where he was also awarded Honorary Artist Life Membership.
