Brad Teare

[5] In summer 1975, he moved to forested land owned by his brother in northern Idaho, where he built a cabin with a friend, then helped construct the Pacific Crest Trail in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area in Washington.

Having moved to the Hudson Valley, he began to focus more on landscapes, and influenced especially by Van Gogh, turned away from woodcuts to painting in oils with heavy impasto, ultimately with a palette knife instead of a brush.

[11] In 2006, two of his works, Color of the Land[7] and the woodblock print Rock Moss,[12] won awards from the Deseret Morning News.

He has been an artist-in-residence at the Maynard Dixon residence in 2004 and at Christopher Forbes' Trinchera Ranch in 2006,[4][6] received the third place award at the 2021 juried exhibition of the American Impressionist Society, and had work included in the annual Quest for the West exhibition[8][13] at the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art.

[15] He has taught continuing education painting workshops at Weber State University[16] and posts instructional videos on his YouTube channel.
