Newman Myrah (1921–2010) Born in Holdfast, Saskatchewan, Canada, Myrah moved to the United States early in life and was raised in Deer Lodge, Montana, a landscape that deeply inspired his later art. He established himself as a prominent commercial artist, art director, and freelance illustrator in Portland from 1949 through the late 1970s. By 1980, Myrah shifted entirely away from commercial illustration to become a full-time fine art painter. He became a charter member of the Northwest Rendezvous Group (NWR), a notable collective dedicated to Western regional art. His work is celebrated for its authentic atmosphere and rich storytelling, ranging from dramatic landscapes to everyday slice-of-life scenes on the range.
