J. E. Knauf is a Los Angeles native now living in Phoenix. While studying the technical aspects of drawing and painting at Northern Arizona University, he traveled the back roads of the Navajo, Hopi and Apache reservations and explored Arizona's rural mining and ranching communities, constantly gathering personal impressions of the West.
Today his work appears to be having an increasing influence on collectors of Southwestern Art. His paintings of Native Americans and Cowboys combine original technique, powerful figures and illusive backdrops with a wholly contemporary command of the paint.
Knauf is also a founding member of The Other Side of the West, a distinguished group of contemporary Southwestern artists currently exhibiting paintings at museums around the country.
