ABOUT THE ARTIST:
SEPTEMBER VHAY
ALTAMIRA FINE ART JACKSON connect@altamiraart.com
September Vhay was born in Reno, Nevada. A largely self-taught artist, her formal training is in architecture. She received her bachelor of architecture degree from the University of Oregon in 1993. Vhay’s initial painting education, via architecture school, was in watercolor and she now paints in both watercolor and oil. Vhay’s work is classic in subject matter and technique, and at the same time modern in her composition and minimal approach. Her paintings are realistic in form and detail, yet they possess an impressionistic aura as well, a looseness that adds a sensitive dimension. She deftly exposes the interplay of light and dark, hard edges and soft, and dynamic areas against quiet, open space. Backgrounds drop away so that her muted earthen palette can evoke the very essence of an animal. Vhay’s work has been featured in Western Art & Architecture, Images West, Cowboys and Indians and Southwest Art Magazine. Awards include first place in painting at the 2012 Ex Arte Equinus International Competition, and the Trustee’s Purchase Award at the Western Visions Show & Sale at the National Museum of Wildlife Art.
