The Historian Artist

The man behind the brush

Wallace Wyss (rhymes with "Reese") is a Los Angeles–area artist whose work lives at the intersection of automotive history and fine art. Long before the easel, he was known in the Shelby American, Cobra, and GT40 communities as the author of the bestselling book Shelby's Wildlife — with a foreword by Carroll Shelby himself.

Today he paints the great Ferraris and sports cars in oil and acrylic: rosso berlinettas on coastal lawns, GTOs under Paris streetlights, Cobras in the paddock. Each original is sized from 11×17 to 20×30 — made for collectors who want the car on the wall the way it feels in person.

Whether you meet him on the concours green with a fresh canvas in hand or through the collection online, the invitation is the same: come closer to the machines that still stop the heart.

A Life Documented

From Author to Fine Artist

Wallace Wyss's journey began documenting automotive legends. His published works on Ferrari and Shelby are cornerstones of motoring history, built on meticulous research and firsthand accounts from Maranello and Le Mans.

This deep provenance now informs his brushstrokes. Each canvas print is an archival tribute, translating the sculptural forms of Scaglietti and Pininfarina into collector-grade fine art.
