Growing up in an Arizona desert known for its unbearable summers, Chuck Ren spent so much time indoors that he started taking up drawing, a way to pass the time that soon developed into a full-blown talent. He sent away for an art correspondence course, but was too young to participate. After college in Northern Arizona, Ren became a freelance illustrator with clients that included movie studios, record companies and the National Football League, for which he completed more than 200 sports images. By 1982, he had made a full switch to the American West, a genre where he excelled with realistic images of Native Americans, cowboys on horseback and mountain men.
