ENJOY ART

A FEW OF ARTSHOP’S ARTISTS

Ellen Stryker loves textiles, and ArtShop patrons love her one-of-a-kind bandana designs. “My inspiration comes from small cool brands I keep an eye on, and lots of Japanese influence, like sashiko, a traditional Japanese embroidery style,” Stryker says. She worked with Pope to create a series of bandanas for ArtShop that have a Western twist, such as a print of a cowgirl tipping her hat and a big ‘Howdy.’ Another series features indigo-dyed and block-printed bandanas. @stryker_made

Natalie Connell finds magic in the mountains around Jackson Hole and brings this feeling to her landscape watercolor and oil paintings, which often feature the Tetons as their subject. “I find deep peace and connection with the natural world and myself through time spent in the mountains,” she says. “It’s from this place and perspective that I create my work and care to express from.” ArtShop stocks smaller original watercolors and note cards of her larger pieces.

“Alex wandered into my festival booth one day and explained her gallery idea. I said sign me up,” says Fred Kingwill, who has been Jackson Hole’s resident watercolorist for decades and is a fixture at any and all local art fairs, including participating annually in the National Museum of Wildlife Art’s Plein Air Fest, Etc. (which is always held the third Saturday of June). “ArtShop offers quality work that brings joy to visitors and representation to so many good local artists.” An art teacher in addition to a painter, Kingwill’s deep and obvious love of wild places, plants, and animals shows in his work. fredkingwill.com

Anika Youcha creates art in many different media, and ArtShop sells her woodblock prints and ceramic mugs. “Anika made us an edition of 100 black-and-white prints of the Tetons and 250 mugs for water or wine with lots of versatility,” Pope says. Originally from Minnesota,
