10 Jun Schreckengost, Telluride artist, featured at 19th annual Wild West Fest
In its 19th year, the Sheridan Arts Foundation’s Wild West Fest is a week-long celebration of Western arts, culture and customs, which brings inner-city youth along with artists and musical performers from across the nation to Telluride.
As a kid growing up in the farming country of Pennsylvania, Brett did not quite fit the Carhartts mold. The high school course that taught him how to compose, shoot, and develop black-and-white images was the only one that, well, really clicked for him. When Brett first came to town, a job at a the now defunct One-Hour Photo, afforded him intimate glimpses into Telluride's pluck and unrivaled beauty. Then he landed his dream job at the Planet.
The guy with Rebel-Without-a-Cause good looks has been aiming to please ever since. Today, Brett is based in Ophir, Colorado, a small alpine community above Telluride, but his artistic endeavors take him around the world.
