From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fred F. Haberlein, born circa 1946, is an American muralist, painter, and sculptor. He grew up at Conejos Ranch, a guest ranch in Conejos County, Colorado . He studied sculpture and printmaking in college, but he is best known for his murals throughout the western United States, predominantly in Colorado. He lives near Glenwood Springs, Colorado .
Haberlein has twice been nominated for the Colorado Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts. He taught art classes at Colorado Mountain College for eighteen years.[1] His first mural was rendered in Oracle, AZ in 1977, and he has completed over 130 murals since then. A Native American friend gave him the name "Lightning Heart," which he uses professionally. Haberlein has completed more single-handed murals than any other U.S. artist.[2]
