J.R. Monks lives in Colorado on his families' ranch. J.R. chases the light and clouds primarily in the Pikes Peak region bringing images to life in oils and watercolors. His subjects range from landscapes to wildlife, and often the western heritage of the Rocky Mountains.
He describes himself as an American Realist with a nod towards Impressionism. Mentored by the late Paco Yong and currently Ralph Oberg. J.R. hopes to bring a unique yet authentic painting experience to all who view his work.
