Edwin (Tex) Wiebe

Edwin (Tex) Wiebe is a self-taught contemporary artist, who`s passion for nature is detailed vividly through multimedia art. From alpine British Columbia and the plains of Alberta to the Coast of Mexico, Edwin paints from mixture of memory, and photo reference. Detailed without exception, his paintings are a reflection of himself and his life.

Always motivated by the outdoors, Tex paints panoramic prairie scenes featuring rural and small-town Alberta. Many paintings are created from childhood experiences and memories. The grain elevator in the distance while toiling in the sweltering beet and bean fields, or trudging to school after a prairie blizzard. Mountain vistas are inspired by many miles on foot through mist and meadow, rivers and rain. His vivid memories are related in the beauty of his painting, as it wasn`t a photo that gave him his inspiration, he was there.
