Teal Blake was born and raised in Montana at the base of the Rocky Mountains in Charles M. Russell country. His mother, Tona Blake, a designer, writer and photographer, and his father, Buckeye Blake, a famous western artist both helped to instill his artistic nature.

At an early age, Teal was introduced to horses. He was raised in and around the rodeo circuit and the cutting horse arena. He also accompanied his family to some of the western art world's most prestigious events.
 
  Teal is the great garandson of Samuel Coke Blake, one of the founding breeders of the American Quarter Horse. As his great grandfather did, he raises and shows quarter horses and makes them a large part of his life, both in competition and in his artwork. Currently living in Weatherford, Texas, Teal is a full time artist, doing design work for major western companies as well as commissions for private buyers.
