Collection: Clyde Lewis

APRIL 2025 FEATURED ARTIST

Opens First Friday April 4th

  Raised in south Texas, Clyde's grandfather was a farmer, and his great uncle was a working cowboy on the Walker Ranch, so naturally Clyde's interest in cowboys budded at a young age.    His first-hand knowledge of the western lifestyle comes from personal experiences; from competing in rodeos as a youth in team roping, steer wrestling, and bull riding to working on a 3,000 acre ranch.  Lewis also volunteers and works at the annual San Antonio and Houston Livestock Shows and Rodeos.
  Clyde first learned drawing skills from his cousin, who is a retired peace officer and artist for the San Antonio Police Department.  While working in the medical industry he also began building his art career as a black western artist focused on subjects that are close to his own cowboy & western lifestyle and Native American heritage.  His grandfather is a black Choctaw Indian, so as a way to help preserve the Native American history in his family he studies and exhibits artworks depicting period-correct Native American scenes, as well as buffalo soldiers and black cowboys.  
  Mr Lewis, along with Jack Moss of Llano TX is a co-founding member of the Western Artist Roundup Association.  He resides in San Antonio and his artwork has sold to collectors across the USA & foreign countries.
