“My challenge and subsequent reward is to reorder reality by distilling it to its essence. It is in this essence where the truth of subject lies. Beauty resides in this truth. It is a pleasure to seek out this essence and to share it with others.�

- September Vhay

SEPTEMBER VHAY

September Vhay was born in 1968 in Reno, Nevada. A largely selftaught artist, her formal training is in architecture. She received her bachelor of architecture degree from the University of Oregon in 1993.

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.

Vhay’s understanding of structure, composition, and light (all of which are crucial in architecture) give her paintings a sense of threedimensional form. In addition to architecture, she 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. It was his comparatively smaller-scale work that Vhay most admired.

Vhay’s recent exhibitions include the Coors Western Art Exhibit and Sale and “Cowgirl Up” at the Desert Caballeros Museum. Her work has been featured in Western Art & Architecture, Cowboys and Indians, Southwest Art and and Western Art Collector Magazines.
