Hi Everyone - I’m Todd Connor
Welcome to my all consuming dream.
The timeless icons
of the American West are my muse
and history is my compass.
This painting represents the untamed West, the living mythology of the iconic frontiersman set along the banks of the Missouri River. Before or after Lewis and Clark? I wasn’t sure. I only know the wild and rugged 1800’s Montana is still within us.
My paintings tell the history of how we got here.
Women were the biggest part of our success.
In fact, without them I don’t think the men could have done it.

The Artist - Todd Connor
Montana In Focus: The artist tells the story of Montana painter Todd Connor, a former Navy Seal who's work is inspired by the landscapes of the West, early explorers like Lewis and Clark and the hardscrabble pioneer women of the past. Watch him discuss his artistic influences and explain why, "Just a pretty picture is not good enough. There needs to be something deeper than that."
