About the Artist - Wayne Baize has shown an affinity for art since his early days in public school. His first private art teacher was Sarah McDonald, a friend of artist Frank Tenney Johnson. After high school graduation, Wayne set up a table at Luskey’s Western Store in Abilene where he commissioned doing portraits of people and their animals. Words of praise for Baize's work soon spread along the local grapevine, prompting Brad Thompson to offer Baize his first one-man show in Stephenville, Texas. The show was a sellout and provided the income and confidence that Baize could make a living as an artist. In the late eighties, Baize shifted his focus away from mixed media and pencil drawings and started putting his main efforts into oil paintings. That transition into oil painting was encouraged by the prestigious Cowboy Artists of America and Wayne was invited to become a member of the CAA in 1995. Wayne Baize considers this to be the highest honor that he could obtain in his art career. Other honors include the silver medal award for drawings at the 1997 Cowboy Artist Show in Phoenix, Arizona and he was awarded the American Cowboy Culture Award for 2004. Wayne Baize’s paintings and drawings have graced the covers of several horse and cattle magazines including The Quarter Horse Journal, Western Horseman, and The Texas Hereford.
