jw segler studio
JW Segler, western painter from Santa Fe, New Mexico captures the world of cowboys and indians in the grand landscapes of the American West. JW finds inspiration in the past and in the present, painting images out of the Old West as well as contemporary characters.
JWs initial inspiration as a western painter came from working as a cowboy for five years on a large ranch in northern New Mexico. For several years, he worked in a living history program at the Philmont Ranch in New Mexico teaching kids about the history of the cattle business and life in the Old West.
These experiences provided years of ideas for new paintings. JW is always seeking out new material as he travels throughout the southwest, but he is still working through the vast imagery and sketches he produced years ago as a cowboy.
In 1981, JW was invited to several shows around Texas and New Mexico where his paintings were received with great enthusiasm. He was also courted by several galleries including Pruitt Place Galleries in Fort Worth and Williams Gallery in Santa Fe who began showing his work. His career as a western painter was off to a fast start. Despite good sales, it was not easy to make a comfortable living as an artist. One thing led to another and JW slowly began to leave his art behind. He had the opportunity to start several businesses over the next few years, some more successful than others. In 1999, he sold his interest in a flourishing software venture in Seattle and eventually came back to Santa Fe where he began to rekindle his art career.
