Troy Collins

Troy is native of Montana, but has called Idaho home for the last twelve years. Troy has a background in landscape architecture, which provided him with critical principles of design. However, he credits master landscape painter Robert Moore with inspiring his love of Russian Impressionism while developing a respect for the elements, which create quality in an interpretation of subject matter. The truths and principles he has learned from Robert have built a strong foundation in both art and life. Troy has spent many hours studying and painting with Robert on location and in the studio.

In June, Troy won the prestigious Artists Choice at the Chapparal Pleine Air Show.
