September’s enchanting wildlife paintings and drawings will feature new subjects as well as popular favorites. Fourteen new works will be on display.

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, yet they possess an impressionistic aura 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.

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.

The artists understanding of structure, composition, and light (all of which are crucial in architecture) give her paintings a sense of three-dimensional form. Vhay was also influenced by the paintings and sculpture of her great-grandfather Gutzon Borglum, who created and sculpted Mount Rushmore and other prominent national monuments.

Vhay is an awarding-winning artist, awards include first place in painting at the 2012 Ex Arte Equinus International Competition, and the Trustee’s Purchase Award at the 2010 Western Visions Show & Sale at the National Museum of Wildlife Art. Her work has been featured in national publications including: Southwest Art Magazine, Western Art Collector, Mountain Living, Homestead, Luxe Magazine, Western Art & Architecture and Images West.

Vhay will be participating in the Western Visions Wildlife Show & Sale at the Wildlife Museum in Jackson, WY, as well as the Buffalo Bill Art Show & Sale in Cody, Wyoming in the fall of 2017.
