Larry Fanning

Larry Fanning is a collector favorite, known for his exquisite wildlife art. But Fanning's genuine love for American's Western heritage is evident in a new facet of this multi-talented artist - Western art. Self-taught, Fanning has a natural understanding of anatomy and an instinct for color. Born and raised in Kansas, Fanning worked as an illustrator before pursuing a career in commercial art and graphic design. After moving to California, he set his art aside while serving as a nondenominational minister for 17 years. Shortly before moving to Colorado in 1986, Fanning resumed his career in art, energized by the mountains, seasons, wildlife, and people he found there. His love for the West shines through his vivid paintings, included in private collections throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and South America.
