About Wayne Baize Born in 1943, Wayne Baize grew up in the ranch country of West Texas. His talent showed itself early, and when he was 12 his parents enrolled him in private art lessons. Baize's first attempts to sell his art began in his own back pasture at a nearby Western clothing shop. Setting up a drawing table in the store, he hoped to interest local ranchers and indeed, he did get some takers who wanted a painting of their favorite horse or steer. On the whole, however, pickings were slim. The situation changed in 1966, when he had his first one-man show in the lobby of a savings and loan association in Stephenville, Texas. Baize's art sold out in no time, and ever since, he?s made his living in selling art, prints and posters. Another boost to his career came in 1967, when Wayne Baize met Tom Ryan, who was a member of The Cowboy Artists of America. Ryan took an active interest in Baize, helping him develop his talent in art, prints and posters further. That hard work paid off in October of1995 when Baize was invited to become a member of The Cowboy Artists of America. Soft spoken and modest, Baize summarizes his feelings about the honor saying, "I'm extremely happy about being included in this group. They are not only good artists. They are good people." Today, Wayne Baize and his wife Ellen, along with their four children, still reside in West Texas. It's a wild and rocky country where yucca and prickly pear cactus rule supreme. Through his art, prints and posters, however, Baize tames the wilderness, and in doing so conveys the subtle beauty of the rugged West Texas life he loves.
