James Bason - Biography

I am a native Montanan best known for serene and soft edged landscape paintings of central Montana. I received a Bachelors in Art Degree with Honors from Montana State University, Bozeman, MT, 1996, with concentrations in both graphic design and painting.

 

I paint what I grew up with - not the majestic mountain peaks so common and popular in western art but more often than not the vast open prairie, the windy vista or simply the space between things - a clump of grass, some willows, the clouds of Montana’s big sky.
