MEET
THE ARTIST, BOB KERBY
Little did Robert E. Kerby know when he left his Colorado home at
the age of 17 to become a cowboy it would be the beginning of a love
and devotion to the cowboy way of life and The American West. It was
while drawing in the bunkhouses on ranches in Northern New Mexico
the artistic spark was ignited. Living the life of a cowboy in the
American West working with horses, cattle and surrounded by beautiful
country Kerby gained firsthand knowledge of his subject matter. He
now is recognized as one of the best and most authentic contemporary
cowboy artists in America today. Bob
paints exclusively in oils and is represented in public and private
collections from New York to Australia. His work has been featured
on magazine covers and has been reproduced in the form of limited
edition collector prints, post cards, posters, Christmas cards,
cookbooks and calendars. It is estimated that over 3 million people
a year view his famous Range Riders appointment calendars.
Good
horses, roping, riding and the American West have always been his
true passion. Kerby takes pride in his western heritage and wishes
to extend this pride to you through his work.
We hope you
enjoy the western art of Robert E. Kerby. It is Bob's pleasure to
share with you his work in the form of his calendars, Limited edition
collector prints, Christmas & note cards along with his Range
Riders Cookin' cookbooks.
Born and raised
in Colorado Bob now lives on a small ranch outside Kearney, Nebraska
where he maintains the Longhorn Studio. (Kearney is located in the
middle of Nebraska on Interstate 80) He paints exclusively in oils
and is committed to preserving the life and times of the contemporary
cowboy.
One of Bob's
passions is his horses and team roping. During the Summer you'll
find him on one of his geldings roping a few steers in the Kerby
arena. His love for horses, the west and the cowboy way of life,
can be shared and enjoyed at this web site.
