2010 Festival Artwork Artist: Lance Mumma

 Durango native, Lance Mumma has a passion for the great outdoors and scenic qualities of the American Southwest. Growing up in the mountains and deserts of the Four Corners area has provided outstanding subjects fro his oil paintings. He has studied art at New Mexico State University, Scottsdale Artists School and with such notable artists as Valoy Eaton, Lee Rommel and his mentor, Wilson Hurley.

“I work with light and the effect of the atmosphere on landscapes as this feature brings a painting to life and provides the reality I am trying to capture.” Lance’s art has been featured in several galleries including Savage Galleries in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Scottsdale, Arizona.

Lance prefers to paint landscapes of the Southwest based on field studies which he captures on site and directly from nature. This technique enables him to take these field studies to the studio to create larger oil paintings. The end result is an exciting display of some of nature’s finest features.

His work is featured at the prestigious Toh-Atin Gallery in Durango, Colorado.
