Wayne Baize

A Long Slow Pull
Fresh Mounts

Wayne Baize grew up just a few miles from the famous Swenson SMS Ranch near Stamford, Texas. His first private art teacher met Frank Tenney Johnson when he visited the SMS Ranch. On the family stock farm, Wayne learned the value of a good horse and helped break colts as a youth. As he developed his artistic abilities his dreams began to materialize when he realized he could make a living depicting his favorite subject matter — the life of the contemporary cowboy and his animals.

Wayne is honored to be able to gather subject matter from famous ranches across the country including the Four Sixes and the 06 Ranch. His artwork has been featured in galleries and shows from New York to California.

In 1995, Wayne was invited to become a CAA member. Being a member is the fulfillment of a dream, but it also serves as a challenge to become a better artist. Wayne has served as a director in the organization, and as vice president and president. He has won a Silver Medal in Drawing, the Traditional Cowboy Arts Association Award for Best Portrayal of a Cowboy Subject, and a Gold Medal in Mixed Media at the CA annual show. He has won numerous other awards and his art has been featured in major magazines such as Western Horseman, The Cattleman, Quarter Horse Journal, The Hereford Journal and Texas Monthly.

Wayne and his wife, Ellen, live in West Texas on a small ranch near Fort Davis where they raised four children and run a small herd of registered Hereford cattle. There, Wayne continues in his focus and passion to carry out the CAA mission to “authentically preserve and perpetuate the culture of Western life in fine art.”

CAA Member since 1995
Born: December 18, 1943
