Carl Rowe: Capturing Idaho’s Landscapes in Art
Have you ever stepped outside and felt completely connected to the land around you? The vastness, the textures, the way the light plays across the terrain—this is what fuels Boise artist Carl Rowe’s work.
At Boise Group Real Estate, we love celebrating the artists who bring Idaho’s natural beauty to life, and Carl does just that. For 27 years, he has painted Idaho’s diverse landscapes—high deserts, alpine forests, rolling foothills, and wild rivers—with a style that feels both realistic and abstract through his use of dramatic lighting.
His work has been featured in two Triennial Exhibitions at the Boise Art Museum, and he was honored with the Culture and Conservation Award by the Land Trust of the Treasure Valley. With over 600 paintings displayed in homes and offices across the U.S. and internationally, Carl’s art connects people to the land in deeply personal ways.
“This land is evocative,” Carl says. “It reminds us of ourselves in its forms and contours. Its vastness suggests the length of life, and its fragility reminds us of our vulnerabilities. As light plays over its surfaces, we see the drama in our own lives and feel the excitement of being here at all.”
