M.C. Poulsen was raised on a cattle and outfitting ranch near Cody, Wyoming. His love for the West evolved from working and painting the people he has met and the scenes he has observed through the years. Poulsen’s sensitivity in his work not only comes from first hand knowledge of what he is painting, but from his own adversity. He has emerged the winner from a battle with leukemia and has persued his art with a fervor to make up for lost time.
