Ouray Meyers was born and raised in Taos. He has the same regard for Taos that his legendary father, Ralph Meyers, had for Taos. An Indian trader, artist and writer, Ralph Meyers was one of the central figures in Taos during those halcyon days before the valley was discovered by the rest of the world. He was a close and trusted friend of the Taos Pueblo Indians, and his Indian friends gave his son, Ouray, their own name- Toshanie, or Dawn Boy. Ouray Meyers is principally a self-taught painter. His use of color is intuitive. His style is individualistic and unmistakable. Yet he has certainly been influenced by the early Taos painters, perhaps by Walter Ufer in particular. From Ufer, Ouray learned to recreate the beautiful and powerful sky and light qualities of Taos. Ouray's innovative and contemporary style of painting touches the emotions of the viewer. The ethereal quality of his work tends to make people feel good.
