Wayne Justus is a realist painter of the contemporary American cowboy. When other kids were climbing trees, Wayne had a pencil in hand, sketching scenes from the life he loved best in the Cowboy Life. Justus is a member of the American Indian and Cowboy Artist Association and has become one of the premier artists of the Southwest.

"One truth I try to portray in my art is how the cowboy works and exists much as they did 100 years ago. The Authenticity of my paintings is important to me."
