DUKE BEARDSLEY Altamira Fine Art is pleased to present, Squaring Off, an exhibit of new work

by Duke Beardsley.

Splitting his time between Denver and his family’s cattle ranch in eastern Colorado, Duke Beardsley has been drawing and painting images of the American West most of his life. His work blends modern artistic elements with the traditional icons of the West. The result has made him a consistently popular favorite among collectors of contemporary western art.

Beardsley’s work has been featured in notable exhibitions across the country such as the Coors Western Art Exhibit and Sale, the Buffalo Bill Art Show & Sale, The Russell: The Sale to Benefit the C.M. Russell Museum, and the Colorado Governor’s Invitational Art Show & Sale. His work was also included in Out West: The Great American Landscape, the 2007 groundbreaking contemporary western art exhibition that toured China.

Beardsley won the 2008 Colorado Governor’s Award for his piece entitled “Colorado Horsepower.” His work can be found in noteworthy private and public collections around the world, including the Forbes Collection, Denver Art Museum, Booth Museum of Western Art, and the State of Colorado. In 2011, he was named Artist of the Year by the Foothills Art Center in Golden, Colorado.

AMY RINGHOLZ Altamira Fine Art is pleased to present, Squaring Off, an exhibit of new work

by Amy Ringholz.

Amy Ringholz’s animals are presented in a style that is at once very realistic, but also abstract and expressionistic. Known for her atypical color combinations and bold, saturated colors, Amy’s palette begins with earth tones and then often advances bravely to vibrant hues. Emotion, personality and humor are the traits she strives for in each new painting.

Recently, Ringholz has produced paintings that have a more narrative element, sometimes combining images of several different animals into a single painting, which heightens the sense that even disparate elements of nature are connected and intertwined.

Ringholz has participated in numerous exhibitions, including the National Museum of Wildlife Art and the Desert Caballeros Museum, where she won the People’s Choice Award in the museum’s annual “Cowgirl Up” exhibition.

She was chosen by Southwest Art as one of its “21 Under 31 Emerging Artists of 2005.” She was the featured artist at the 2012 Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival.
