Phil Epp
IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE DRIVING THROUGH THE UNENDING WHEAT FIELDS OUTSIDE OF NEWTON, KANSAS, just as a majestic full moon rises over the sprawling horizon, you might catch a glimpse of a lone cowboy photographing the breathtaking spectacle. Give a friendly wave as you drive by—that would be Western artist Phil Epp.
Raised on a “ranch-farm” in rural Nebraska from the 1940s to the ’60s, Epp spent his days playing in the pasture, riding horses, and taking care of the family’s cattle.
