  • Don West

    Ranging in style from graceful markings to seductive color fields to impressionistic landscapes, Don West's paintings are widely held in national as well as international collections.

     

    As a quintessential artist and published writer of short stories, poetry, and novels, Don remains devoted to the pursuit of pure expression, aesthetic drama, and the simple act of making a mark.
