© She Bops by Walter Piehl 29 x 29 inches

Walter Piehl, a rodeo enthusiast and art professor at Minot State University, captures the energy of rodeo; cowboys and cowgirls spinning ropes, and forceful clashes between horse and rider. But the aim of his work, he says, is not just to capture the spirit of the West but to also tap the energy of abstract expressionism.
