Van painter Roger Ward gains national wins in Colorado show
Winnipeg area artist Roger Ward, 1416 Ash, known for painting customized vans, earned first prize out of 1,000 entries in the National Truck In Breckenridge Colorado, winning best GMC and best painted. He and his wife drove their prize van to the show and slept in the vehicle to avoid motel costs. Ward, with formal art training and seven years at a manufacturing shop, runs his own shop at 1540 S Main. He spends weeks on body work and mural painting, using airbrush and many lacquered layers to achieve shine. Ward plans another truck entry next year after sketching ideas on a napkin while sipping coffee.
