Trevor Waugh
Trevor Waugh was born in 1952 and grew up in London. Waugh studied at the Slade School of Fine Art from 1970–74 (BA) under the guidance of Sir William Coldstream who was the Professor of the Slade at that time, Patrick George, Philip Sutton, David Hockney, Euan Uglow and Bernard Cohen. During his time at the Slade, he was invited by Sir William Coldstream and Patrick George to exhibit alongside them at the Collegiate Theatre at University College, London, 1971. Waugh was also a contributor to the Young Contemporaries Exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1972. He obtained a distinction for his post-graduate certificate in illustration, when he studied with Ernest Jones at Croydon College of Art 1978–79. Waugh went on to work successfully as a freelance illustrator for nine years for most of the major publishers including Penguin, Heinemann, Cassell, Collins and the BBC. Returning to Fine Art and Travel, Waugh returned to fine art in 1988 and began traveling extensively in the Middle East- the first visit in 1995 for a month as artist in residence at the Majlis Gallery, Dubai. Several exhibitions and visits since including "The New Orientalist Exhibition" in the Emirates and his paintings can be found in the Royal Collections of Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah. In 1995, he traveled to the USA and resided there for three months to include an exhibition and watercolor classes at Cleveland State Community College, Tennessee. He was also an artist in residence and held an exhibition at the River Gallery in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Waugh visited Morocco in 1977–78 resulting in an exhibition in the UK sponsored by the Moroccan Embassy. Since 1993, he has made frequent visits to Venice for inspiration, resulting in several exhibitions there in the UK, as well as Florence and Rome. France has also featured in Waugh’s traveling schedule, where he ran painting holidays in Provence and the Dordogne and spent some time in the Ardeche, Giverny and Brittany. A painting trip to Oman and a painting trip to Istanbul have also featured.

Artist Comments
"This is a loosely painted scene based on a visit to a ranch in Stanley, New Mexico," shares artist Heather Foster. "I think they thought I was going to feed them. Sometimes a group of cattle will see me and run away like they imagine I'm thinking about burgers. But this group was curious and started towards me, with the ones in the distance moving at a quick pace, worried that they might miss out on something. Then we just paused & looked at each other for a bit." Heather captured the moment with her painting vividly portraying the scene. The cattle stand with inquisitive gazes before her. A bright underpainting shows through exemplifying the heat of the day and the amusing instance.
About the Artist
Artist Heather Foster captures an enduring image of the West. She paints the dramatic landscapes and stalwart animals she encounters on her adventures to ranches and rodeos. Heather says she has always known she wanted to be an artist. As a child, she spent her weekends and summers riding the bus into Philadelphia to attend art classes at Philadelphia College of Art, Moore College of Art, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Over the years, she's moved around the country quite a bit and done many jobs - everything from driving a pedicab (a giant tricycle that transports passengers) to art restoration and conservation (for one project, she unstretched and then restretched a $17 million painting that would not fit through the door of the buyer's house). The one constant though, no matter where she lived or what side jobs she held, she always made space and time to paint. Today, she works from a home studio in Santa Fe, painting from thousands of reference photographs she shoots on her travels. Her artwork has been featured in the magazines Southwest Art, American Art Collector, and Western Art Collector, and published in the books Art Journey New Mexico and The Book of the Horse.
