Cody DeLong’s award winning paintings have earned him an ever expanding collector base. An Arizona resident since 1998, his Cody DeLong Studio is located in a historic building in the heart of Jerome at 300 Hull Ave. Originally a Studebaker dealership it was built in 1905 during the town’s mining days. One of the original gas pumps still stands in front of the gallery, where Cody can often be found painting or teaching about four days a week, usually Wednesday through Saturday.
“People are drawn to the light here, and that’s part of what I try to interpret in my work”. That goal is evident in his canvases which capture the light and color of the west in dramatic fashion. Cody divides his time between Studio and Plein Air work, and participates in several plein air events each year. He was one of only 20 artists invited to the Inaugural Grand Canyon event in 2009. In 2010 Cody won FIRST PLACE at the Grand canyon event out of 30 artists, and sold 17 paintings. He sold out again the following month at Zion NP selling 12 paintings. In 2011, Cody was again one of the top sellers at these events, (selling 18 paintings at the Grand Canyon). Increasing demand for his studio work and commissions are keeping him busy.
