Denny Karchner's "Western Artwork" was spawned from a deep passion for the love of a pencil and paint at a very young age. He has been producing "pencils" since the tender age of three-years-old and after a 34-year hiatus, has recently returned to paints. Here, you will find the newest in a series in oils, acrylics and pencils. It is Denny's tightest and most intense works ever."

Denny's passion and love for "pencil and paints" are gaining him increased notoriety among museums and private collectors. Over the last few years, Denny has worked closely with the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody and has had art included in their Annual Art Auctions. Denny had three pieces accepted into the prestigious "Booth Western Art Museum" for their permanent private collection.

In 2006 the family of the late, great Curt Gowdy commissioned Denny to paint his portrait. Denny was soon hired by the Rooney family, owners of the 2008 NFL Superbowl Champions Pittsburgh Steelers to paint many of the old Steelers from the 1970's Super Bowl Teams. Several of pieces of his Steeler art are now in the possession of the John Heinz History Museum in Pittsburgh, PA and in the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. What an honor for a "Lifetime Fan" and former resident of "The Steel City."
