"My roots are in the heartland of America," says Loren Entz, and as the son of
immigrant farmers from Germany and Russia who settled in Kansas, he proved it
with his own decisions.
The first hint that art would be his life’s work came
with his attending Frederic Remington High School, situated on the ranch that
famous artist once owned. There Entz was known as "the school artist." But it
was a visit to the Nelson Art Center in Kansas City which he marks as "the
shaper of my destiny." He was so impressed with the art he saw there he
enrolled in the Famous Artists correspondence school.
Although he worked as a ranch hand in Montana after attending Heston College in
Kansas and Longview College in Missouri, Entz also studied different art
mediums, including pencil, charcoal, oil and watercolor. His versatility and
dedication led to his being chosen to join the Cowboy Artists of America in
1992—the first to be named to the ranks in four years. His images of the little
decisions that make up a good life have been awarded Gold and Silver honors
from the Cowboy Artists of America as well as a Jurors Award from the Northwest
Rendezvous Show.
