Hello, my name is Matt Josef and I am a western artist based in Oklahoma City, OK. I began my career around 2002 as a commission portrait artist. Since then I have moved nearly 50 times across the country as I experimented with painting styles and built a following of collectors and friends. My love for the Southwest and its vibrant landscape inspires me to travel and capture its essence through my art.

My works can be found in private and public collections, and I'm constantly striving to create pieces that evoke a sense of nostalgia and reverence for the rich history and culture of the cowboy and ranch life. From the vast open spaces across the west to the intricate details of rodeos, I aim to tell stories through my art that resonate with viewers.
