Grandma Moses
Ansel Adams
Normal Rockwell
Frederic Remington
Georgia O'Keefe
Thomas Kincade
American Composers:

I thought of Mary Cassatt, too. John James Audubon is another one.
Oh, Audubon....The Boy Who Drew Birds is a beautiful book!
And that makes me think of Benjamin West and His Cat Grimalkin.

A composer:
Stephen Foster- here's a book (I've not read it yet, but have enjoyed others in this series....)
Stephen Foster and His Little Dog Tray

Wolf Kahn is a wonderful contemporary American artist who has some gorgeous landscapes in pastel.
Oh, also P. Buckley Moss, especially if you live near Amish country. She has a very unique style, a lot of it reflecting Amish life.
