Chad Poppleton

Chad Poppleton, a resident of Cache Valley Utah, has been passionate about art and the outdoors for as long as he can remember. His interest began while on the farm and ranch with his father and grandfather working with animals understanding their attitudes, behaviors, and confirmations. Chad’s father, also an artist, taught him how to draw and look at things with an artist’s eye. "Interpreting the behavior and character of each animal in its natural environment is the motivation for my work." In 2018, a life long dream was achieved when Chad was inducted into the Cowboy Artists of America. Recent awards and accolades include the 2025 Best of Show at the CM Russell show, his worked is in the permanent collection at the Museum of Western Art, indicted as a new member of the Charlie Russell Riders, and he received the judges award of excellence at the 2024 Buffalo Bill Art Show & Sale
