Madison Valley Ranchlands Group Noxious Weed Auction Fundraiser
August 8, 2026
McAllister, MT
This annual fundraiser supports land stewardship and noxious weed management efforts in the Madison Valley. Todd is proud to contribute artwork in support of conservation initiatives that protect the working landscapes that inspire his work.
“My paintings trace the journey that brought us here.
Women were vital; steady hands, sharp minds, and brave hearts shaping life on the frontier.
Without them I don’t think the men could have done it.”
The Cowboy Artists of America mission is
“To authentically preserve and perpetuate the culture of Western life in fine art.”
2024 was a pivotal year for me. I participated in my first Cowboy Artists of America show, and was honored to receive the Ray Swanson Memorial Award for my heartfelt painting, Bearers of the Legacy.
The award recognizes “a work of art that best communicates a moment in time and captures the emotion of that moment.” It was presented by Ray’s daughter, Pam Swanson and my cowboy hero, the one and only Red Steagle. A moment I won’t forget.
In-Focus:
The Artist - Todd Connor
The artist tells the story of Montana painter Todd Connor, a former Navy Seal who's work is inspired by the landscapes of the West, early explorers like Lewis and Clark and the hardscrabble pioneer women of the past.
Watch him discuss his artistic influences and explain why, "Just a pretty picture is not good enough. There needs to be something deeper than that."
