I graduated with a B.F.A. from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1978. I currently have active memberships in The Oil Painters of America, the American Plains Artists and the National Oil & Acrylic Painters Society. I have studied with Martin Grelle, John Buxton and Bruce Greene. I currently sell western art originals and prints and I complete private commissions. I began drawing and painting memories of my childhood spent with my rodeo cowboy grandfather and my Native American grandmother. I started drawing characters of the old west sparked by the stories of my grandparents. After moving to Texas in 2008, my subjects include painting the relationships of African Americans, Native Americans and Mexican Americans in the development of the old west.
Loveless says, "I want to express more than aesthetic beauty alone and I want to amplify the aspirations of all Americans that have contributed to make this country one of the greatest ever."
I have worked as a graphic designer, package designer and illustrator; some of my clients include: FedEx, Ralston Purina, Anheuser Busch, Six Flags over Mid-America, Alka-Seltzer, and Kentucky Fried Chicken. After freelancing as an illustrator, I opened Loveless Galleries and my family of five; created custom framing, sold prints and painted portrait commissions. I was included in the 2022 Oil Painters of America National Exhibition and the 2022 Who's Who in America publication as a fine artist.
I am eternally grateful for my historical colleagues that have contributed to ensure the regalia, weaponry, and locations are correct for the era represented in my paintings. I received a purchase award from the Pearce Museum in Corsicana, Texas displaying in their 2022 permanent collection. I have also exhibited at the Old West Museum in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I hope you are one of the folks that enjoy scenes of the old west.
I am married to my beautiful wife, Yvette and we have five adult children and fourteen grandchildren.
Please contact me if you have questions or you just want to talk.

Before the Corona Virus hit the United States, my wife and I led a 7-piece band. Presently, we have had all of our gigs to cancel since the outbreak of COVID 19. It has been difficult but, we pray you stay safe!
