About the Item
This original 1949 painting by Kansas artist Zona Wheeler (1913–1998) captures the dramatic spirit of Colorado’s mountain landscape through a bold mid-century modernist lens. Rendered in vibrant shades of green, blue, red, teal, and yellow, the composition pulses with dynamic energy while maintaining an abstracted sense of place. Wheeler’s confident brushwork and expressive color palette create a striking visual rhythm, showcasing her distinctive blend of abstraction and Western landscape tradition. Signed and dated in the lower right, this work stands as a compelling example of her mature artistic style.
The painting is professionally presented in a custom frame crafted with archival materials and Museum Glass for superior UV protection and reduced glare. Framed dimensions are 23 ½ × 28 × ¾ inches, with an image size of 14 ¼ × 19 inches.
About the Artist:
Zona Lorraine Wheeler was a Kansas-born artist whose career was shaped by influential training under Birger Sandzén at Bethany College, followed by studies at the Wichita Art Association School and the American Academy of Art in Chicago. Known for her vibrant approach to natural subjects, Wheeler’s paintings combine modernist abstraction with a deep appreciation for the American landscape. This 1949 Colorado scene highlights her signature fusion of color, motion, and emotional depth.
