Cottonwood Center for the Arts is pleased to announce a retrospective exhibition for the month of January featuring works by Sparky LeBold.


About the Artist: 

LeBold has made a name for himself both in America and abroad over the course of his stellar career. Since graduating from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California (1986), he has been inducted into Who's Who in American Art (2002), has held fifteen One-Man Shows across America and in Europe, and recognized as a National Artist of Portugal, where townspeople of Sesimbra have lovingly nicknamed him “Picasso Americano”.

LeBold's oil paintings are inspired by the beauty he has experienced while traveling all over the world. His ability to translate what we see in nature onto canvases large and small has resonated with corporate and private collectors for the past 41 years and captured the attention of The Artist’s Magazine when they listed him as “one of the top 50 landscape painters in America”.

LeBold’s work is full of emotion and spirit, reflecting his desire to communicate and raise awareness for the beauty in nature that we may overlook. His images hold your attention, touch your soul and leave an imprint that lingers. Not to mention, he has a sweet ponytail.


This is who I am...as honest as I can be. I consider this to be the most important Show of my career...a prelude of where I have traveled and a lighted tunnel to where I am trying to land. This Show is about giving what I have without exception and hoping to find an audience to accept it; and if not, I lay my worth in God's embrace to be considered...no less, no more than what I can give from my heart soul...Muito Obrigado e beijinhas meu amigos...ate a logo...sparky 


Come experience this exhibit and enjoy two floors of open studios + galleries this First Friday from 5-8 pm, and all month during normal business hours.
