Jason Rich grew up on a small farm in Southern Idaho and spent most of his time either riding, training or drawing horses. His western roots and passion for art influenced his decision to pursue art as a profession. He attended Utah State University where he majored in Art Education and Illustration and completed his Bachelors of Fine Art degree in 1995. Rich taught for a year but decided to pursue art full time while working on a master’s degree. Rich's work has been featured on the covers of Western Horseman and Inform Art
