ARTIST BIO
Dan Deuter is known nationally for his stirring scenes of the west as it was. He has combined a lifetime of personal experiences and research of the Old West into his art. His favorite subjects are the mountain men, American Indians and wildlife of the late 1880s.
Dan grew up on a ranch in South Dakota. He chased cattle, mended fences, hunted and fished. His life as a cowboy and his deep interest in western history led the direction of his art career, and historically accurate paintings of the Old West are his trademark.
Dan is interested in rebuilding historic cabins, and he repairs old equipment, traps beaver, hunts buffalo, hand-tans hides and makes buckskin clothing and quivers decorated with beading. That’s why his art is so authentic. He has been a part of many realistic photo shoots for artists across the country and has appeared in over 200 original oil paintings by some of today’s top Western painters. Dan’s unique style and ability to capture the west are unmatched. Dan and Elli live on their ranch near Montrose, Colorado.
