“Residing in the hills and valleys of Northern California, artist Hugh Slayden continues the tradition of fine western artistry....”


For the last 30 years, artist Hugh Slayden has been one of the most proficient and dedicated artists working. His work can be seen thorughtout the United States and his unmistakeable style has been called groundbreaking and awe inspiring.

The sheer size of the canvases that he uses would scare most painters away. But Slayden has found comfort and challenge in working in large format, free hand without the assistance of tracing or projection.

His work ranges from watercolor to pencil drawings, pen and ink and of course oil and acrylics. The airbrush was an early tool but he has since found much success with the brush. He has been sought out especially by corporations and individual collectors who love the western style and his work adorns many businesses and private collections.

If you are interested in his work for prints, originals or a commission, please follow the contact link. Please enjoy the work but you may not copy any of the original pieces without written permission. Thank you!
