Tim Deibler
& Delbert Jones

Tim Deibler (born in Oklahoma and currently residing in Walsenburg, CO) strated painting when he was 13, teaching himself to paint from photographs. "It used to frustrate my teachers because I wouldn't copy the photo exactly," he reminisced. "I always used a photograph just as a starting place, not as a finishing place. Photos show details, but no emotion."

 

Justin I. Young
& John Orion Young

Colorado artist, Justin I. Young, began creating drawings, sculptures, and paintings, at a very early age. He specializes in wildlife art, animal art, landscape art, and portrait art.

Although he pursued his love of art throughout his early life, his interest in the natural world led him to earn a degree in wildlife biology at Colorado State University in 1974, where he was trained for two years in the classical traditions of drawing, painting and design. Justin's reputation is built on his work with wildlife subjects, but he is also well established as a master portrait artist.

Justin's Work can be found in private and public collections worldwide, and is collected by celebrities, corporations and galleries. His works have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for many charities.

His son, John Orion Young, grew up watching his father paint. This helped him to develop his own interest in art. His style is decidedly more modern and abstract than the work of his father. He is currently residing near the Flat Iron Mountains in Boulder, Colorado.
