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 artist 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.
