Art of the West features Vicki Catapano and her meticulous Western paintings

The November/December 2025 issue of Art of the West features the realistic paintings of California/Nevada artist Vicki Catapano with the fascinating article 'Slow and Easy Does It' with a spotlight on the artist's meticulous process. The article's author Clover Cameron writes, "Vicki Catapano’s paintings combine a mastery of brushstroke, color, exquisite realism, and authenticity. From the details of hand-braided hackamore of the Nevada buckaroo to the beadwork in Native American regalia, her work displays a passion and carefulness in preserving the ways of the Old West." 🎨“I’m such a slow painter,” Catapano says. “Getting the elements of the Native regalia and the hackamore or spade bit accurate are of utmost importance. Every detail in each painting is critical and has to be precise and correct.”

Mountain Trails Gallery Sedona in the Village of Tlaquepaque is proud to represent the work of this extraordinary artist. Click here to see more by Vicki Catapano.
