Michael Ome Untiedt is a Master Oil Painter and Storyteller

One of America's great contemporary fine Western Artists.

I had the pleasure of meeting Michael Ome Untiedt in 1997, shortly after moving to Colorado. He generously donated an exquisite landscape oil painting to Rocky Mountain PBS for its fundraising event. The next day, Untiedt contacted me to pick up the painting I purchased the night before and to choose a frame. Needless to say, I was very excited to meet the artist who created such a gorgeous work of art.

Over the years I have come to learn that Michael Untiedt is a master storyteller and there is always a fascinating story behind each piece. One of the reasons I chose to purchase the painting I saw on television was because of its intriguing title "Gates Open to the Sangre de Christos". Being a newcomer to Colorado, I did not know anything about the mountain ranges or the people who had lived on the land before. As you will discover by clicking the link "Gallery of Paintings" and then on one of the images of Michael Ome Untiedt's paintings, there is an enlightening and amazing story!
