Lauri Ketchum

Art Available at The Founder


A lifelong creative, Lauri Ketchum found her artistic path after retiring from careers in Government and Education. Inspired by Fixer Upper and a knack for repurposing, she began with hand-painted décor and quickly discovered her passion for painting. Rooted in her upbringing on a cattle ranch, Lauri’s work reflects her deep connection to agriculture and the American cowboy. Cattle and working cowboys remain her favorite subjects, capturing both memory and heritage on canvas. Her paintings have been featured in prestigious shows across the country, including Western Spirit in Cheyenne, WY, the Mountain Oyster Club Art Show in Tucson, AZ, Cowgirl Up! in Wickenburg, AZ, and the C.M. Russell First Strike Auction in Great Falls, MT. She has also been profiled in Art of the West Magazine.
