The Art of Rodeo features the work of sculptor Chris Navarro, painter Brandon Bailey, and photographer Randy Wagner, telling the many facets and stories of rodeo through drawings, paintings, sculpture, and photography. Using the legend and history of Cheyenne Frontier Days, the book traces rodeo from its early days to the present. The spectacular images were edited from more than 20,000 photographs, dating back over 100 years. It covers legendary rodeo figures — horses like Steamboat and Midnight, and cowboys like Jackson Sundown, Bill Pickett, Freckles Brown, Larry Mahan, and Lane Frost, among others.  https://chrisnavarro.com/ 

DARE TO DREAM BIG

DARE TO DREAM BIG Hardcover, 82 pages Price: $20 plus $4 shipping · E-book: $.99

In Dare to Dream Big, artist Chris Navarro takes you on an inspirational journey. In 2018, his monumental bronze sculpture Dare to Dream Big was entered in ArtPrize 10 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the world's largest art competition, with 1,420 artists and over 500,000 visitors — the most attended public art event in the world. The sculpture includes an interactive chalkboard with the words "I DARE TO DREAM BIG AND I WILL," inviting viewers to write about their own dreams and goals. Hundreds of dreams were written and documented during the show.

"It was amazing seeing, hearing, and feeling the reaction people had to my sculpture and the wide range of their dreams and goals. Having our dreams come true is the essence of life." — Chris Navarro  https://chrisnavarro.com/ 

I hope this book inspires others to dare to dream big — to make a habit of writing down goals and dreams, and to realize that with belief, action, and effort, dreams do come true. Go out there and chase your dreams with passion. Life is too short not too.

Chasing The Wind

Sculpture doesn't live in a world of flat paint. It glows in the realism of breadth of dimension, shape, form, detail and artist interpretation. Navarro's work seems to breathe. This passion for life is fully explored in Chasing the Wind.
